Active X Control on the Server Side

[Roundy]

I am trying to accomplish something, an I am not sure how to get it done. I
have an active x control that provides information that I want to post on a
web page. The problem I am having is that when a "client" computer attempts
to access the web page, it access information from a local copy of the active
x control. I want the information provided by the active x control on the
web server, not the client.

In the end, I want to view the page from a cell phone. So is there a way to
access that data using java, asp, or something on the server side. So far
the data is being provided using VBscript.

I want to make apple juice. I have this orange, and I can't figure out how
to make apple juice from it...

An ActiveX control is a client-side control. That is what it is. You can't
run it from the server.You would need to write your own custom server-side
application using ASP, ASP.Net, or what-have-you.

Does this mean that I could access it using ASP or ASP.net, or does it mean I
would have to rewrite the active x control in asp or asp.net?

Notice that I didn't say anything about using an ActiveX Control. Why would
you need an ActiveX control at all? If you want to display data from the
server, you write a server-side app that generates a web page containing the
data.

It takes zero oranges to make apple juice!
