If the dll is a COM object, use CreateObject in VBScript or new ActiveXObject from Javascript to instantiate the object. If the com object doesn't have any networking methods to get the data back to the server, you are still going to need to write that part...you could use msxml or maybe wininet, both are installed on most windows machines.
As Josh mentioned the client will need to set your site as a trusted site, or the user will get a security popup asking if they want to run the script, unless you sign the object as secure. jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dowdell, Jason G" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 12:13 PM Subject: Accessing a dll on client machine > Hi All, > > I have a client that wants to access a dll on the client's machine via > a web browser and return information from that dll.
