I am trying to use an ActiveX DLL with ASP.  This DLL has a procedure which
expects a parameter which needs to be sent from the ASP code.

This parameter is got from a VBScript procedure.

This is what I am trying:

Private Sub ReadCabinets(myVar)
msgbox myVar
<%
   lngNumOfCabs = objWeb.GetCount(myVar)
%>
End Sub

The variable myVar always goes into the GetCount procedure of the DLL with a
value of 0.  The message box just before the ASP tags confirms that the
correct value is being retrieved by the procedure.

the *nospam*.

TIA

Private Sub ReadCabinets(myVar)
msgbox myVar

End Sub

There is no code to call any DLL.  When you run that sub you'll display the
value in a message box then do nothing.

Get a book on ASP and read the basics.  Your ASP code is only ran to
generate a static page to send to the browser.  Once sent the ASP processing
ends and the browser has a static page.  There is no ASP running inside the
browser.  ASP is on the server, your VBScript is on the client.  The only
way to interact with the ASP page would be to submit a form with myVar and
that form will go to an ASP page that will call the DLL function.  Or you
could use RDS straight from the client to achieve what you're trying.

Thanks for the input, I'm kind of new to ASP and any help is much
appreciated!

Let me explain what I am trying to do:

I'm using the Sheridan ActiveX TreeView control on a webpage. This control
will look into a SQL Server database and load up the various nodes. Now
depending on, which node the user clicks I want to display corresponding
information on the other half of the page ( 2 frames).

I have downloaded the example from the Sheridan site, but there the nodes
are hard coded. In my application the nodes are loaded from a database. So
at run time I need to find out on which node the user has clicked, pass that
value back to a DLL which will process that, talk to the DB and return a
value or a set of values.

I have done this using ActiveX documents, but to make it lighter I'm trying
to do this using ASP's.

Any idea on how I can implement this?

TIA
