Hello,
I just have a general question.
I developed a graphics application in BCB5 that I'd like to incorporate in a 
website, installed on a dedicated server. I want the user (website visitor) 
to activate the application by clicking on a button in the website. The 
application runs, and then self terminates, generating a jpeg file. The 
important part is, two pieces of information need to be passed from the web 
control to the application before the application is activated--one is a 
filename generated by the website (derived from username, to be passed to an 
Edit control), and the other is multiline text (to be passed to a Memo 
component).
Can we pass these two type of information from the web control to my 
application?
Don't need to give me any code specifics, I can't do web programming. Just 
tell me, in principle, if this can be done.
Thanks
Peter
