Was told I need an Asp page.......
I have a form, my visitors input information in this form. This input will than be used in my .exe file to produce a desired sting of characters, which than need to be presented to my visitor.
I was told that to accomplish all of this, what I need to do is;
I need to write and .asp page with javascript that has an object that interacts with my .exe file running in command line.
The .asp page with javascript interacting with my .exe file in command line will enter the information gathered from my form, and get the result from my .exe file and spit it out on an .html file that the visitor can see on their browser.
I am not very familiar with server side programming, can anyone help me at all?

Wait...what? You are going to execute an .exe file from your web site? Im confused. Or are you simply looking to process a form?

I have an .exe program that provides very sensitive info. This program sits and runs on my web server so that my visitors cannot download it. However, the gui does not run on a browser.

The key thing here will be how the .exe file gets the data it processes. It will need to be able to take command line input
(ie. myprogram.exe username password message) where username, password, and message are three different inputs used by the exe, and the output would need to be given back as just output, (or write to a text file that the asp file can read).
Depending on how complex the exe file is and what all it does, might be easier to rewrite it in ASP?
Do you have an example of what the program does exactly?

Finally,someone who is understanding what I need! Yeah!
Okay, yes my program will accept command line input.
The information that the program needs to get are a cust id. a computer sting and entries into a couple of drop down fields.
I dont have an example of the program to share. But would a screen shot help?
The result the program will come up with then needs to be visible to the visitor of the web site.
Make sense?
