 Create Contact from Web page to End User machine

hello guys,

I need to create a new contact from a Web app 2 OutlOok on a client
machine(Mr.Everybody...not on a internal network). Basicaly the client
will just CLICK a button ON THE wEB page
and it will update his Outlook (on his machine) with the new
contact... I know how to create contact on a local machine...but how
create it on a remote machine thrue the web !!?? is there any way ????

Perhaps some Javascipt running on client machine ??? if  so should I
use :

var OOutlook=WScript.CreateObject("Outlook.Application");

BUT THIS LIGN OF CODE GENERATE ERROR...SAYING IT DOESNT KNOW ABOUT
'WScript', BUT I SEE THE OBJECT IN MY REGISTRY... HOW COME GETTING
ERROR !!??

Any help will be really appreciated.

You can't script Outlook in a web page.  So this leaves you with two
options...

1) Build a vCard and offer it as a download to the user.  (Clicking on a
vCard link will have a new contact record filled in with information
displayed to user.)

2) Create an activex control that is signed safe for scripting that ties to
the users Outlook and creates the desired information.

OK so with the second Option are you meaning :

The user will need to have an ActiveX on his machine, witch will be
ties to the User Outlook, then in my Web pages , on the click of the
button i will call a function that will instance the ActiveX on the
client machine and then just used the ActiveX as needed ???

Do I get it ?????

Thanks a lot to answer to it ...

That just about sums it up.  Just remember it sounds easier than it is
because the control has to be signed with a digital certificate (e.g. Thawte
or Verisign) and be marked safe scripting and initialization in the browser.
