   Re: Convertibg VB program to Web

   That's kind of a broad question.   
      
   Are you asking if some one can download and run your program without an   
   installer ? then the answer now days is YES most people have the VB6 runtime   
   installed, but you can't add any extra controls outside the ones that come   
   up by default for a standard EXE. as you can't be sure the user will have   
   them.   
      
   You can an write Active x controls that run in a web page on IE these and   
   download and install all the components they need, but there are security   
   settings in most peoples browsers that you would need them to turn off to   
   allow them to run./install   
      
   On an intranet you could Write an active X document , a program that runs in   
   a browser, (I have never seen one that works but you can do it).   
      
   so you need to tell us a little more about what you are trying to do, so we   
   can help   
      
   cheers
