I have a requirement for an Intranet application where I need to be
able to set a cookie in MSIE from a program running *on the client
side* before connecting to the web site.

Even though I'm a complete Java newbie, I sort of know how to do this
with a Java applet.  The problem is that the information needed to
populate the cookie needs to be obtained from a series of external
procedure (.dll) calls, and I don't know how or if you can do that
from Java. Besides, it turns out that 95% of the necessary code, other
than setting the cookie, is already written in VB.  I'd like to be
able, with an ActiveX control or document,  just reuse what's already
been written and add the code to set the cookie.

The problem I'm having is that I don't seem to be able to figure out
the MSIE object model as viewed from an ActiveX control.  Can someone
just point me in the right direction?  I'm an MSDN subscriber, but I
couldn't find anything other than VBScript examples.

Many thanks,

Al
