If someone knows how to take a page with an image on it and have a submit button pass two variables that are input from the page to an executable stored on the server, then refreshes the page when the executable has finished doing it's thing, I would be forever grateful. :mrgreen:

Thanks.

I don't understand... Which executable file are we talking about? You'll probably need to use COM.

There is a Win32 C++ script that will take the variables and move a camera, then capture a frame. The new image will over-write the existing image file on the server, so I also need the window to be refreshed.

What I know of COM is with Word and Excel, do you think it would work on a C++ compiled script?
