    Do you mean you want to put VB code into an ASP.NET page, or you want to actually execute a binary application written in VB?

    No, I mean a form made in VB 6 to run online.

    I highly doubt that VB can be integrated into HTML.

    No you cant. But if its only a form you should be able to make what you need in HTML.

    Wow. Umm alright thanks. The reason I wanted to do this is because of my familiarity with Visual Basic.

    Well, it's kind of a general question, and it depends on what that form is doing. You couldn't just take a form from VB6 and automatically convert it into a web page, with either classic ASP or ASP.NET. But what you could probably do (and this depends on what function the form is performing) is convert the form into HTML, and use VBscript in classic ASP as the backend programming language to handle the form's action (or, you could convert it to VB.NET and go with ASP.NET).

    VbScript and VB.NET are both very similar to the progamming you have in a VB6 form, but they are different and it would require some conversion. And as I said, it depends on what you are trying to do with the form ... populate the input into a database, email the contents, etc ...

    No, vb cannot be used on the web; try java or flash!

    Yes, as VBScript, a derivative languge. It's the default language for ASP, the server side scripting platform, and can be embedded in or linked from an html document. It is only supported by IE, so it's worthless as far as I'm concerned. If you want client side scripting to work x-browser, use javascript.

    cheers,
