Running .EXEs in IE in Win2k?
-
My boss has heard through the grapevine about some way to run a standard exe in a browser (IE) on windows 2000. He has no idea what it's called and neither do I. I'm usuallyon top of features like this, but I don't know where to start. The mission, which he has accepted for me on my behalf, is to find out more about this. I've tried Google, but I can't find anything. Thanks in advance

I have not heard of anything like it (why does anyone want to run an arbitrary .exe in a browser anyway?). Does he mean ActiveX Document Servers? That is not new with neither IE6 nor Win2k... Anyway the technical overview of IE6 could be found on: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/techinfo/overview/default.asp hope this helps /moliate

Doesn't make sense to me. A plain EXE doesn't run inside anything. It sounds like he's thinking of ActiveX controls, which have been around since IE 3. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ While I can't be correct on all matters, I can make the reassuring claim that where I am inaccurate, I am at least definitively inaccurate. :love: your :bob: with :vegemite: and :beer: Sonork - 100.10414 AcidHelm
