>I currently have an inhouse VFP5 app that periodically requires the user to re-register the program. The app gives them (a random) Registration Number and they call me to get an Access key. I run a program (that I also wrote in VFP5) to generate the Key. We want to automate this process so that the user can log onto the intranet to retrieve their own key.

A VFP COM object can handle this just fine. The ASP page can call the COM object, then return the key and generate the HTML page with the result. The user could use any browser.
