Hi UTer’s.

I have a group of customers that attach files of a proprietary format to emails that they send me. The files have a .kok extension and can only be read by an executable that the manufacturer provides. The output of the executable is three jpg files. I open the .kok files with the executable, produce the jpgs and then post them to a web site. I wanted to automate the process so I did the following: I made a web page that gives the customers the ability to upload the .kok to my server. I thought I could activate the executable from the ASP or from a .com object that was on the ASP but that does not work. I would not mind the minor hit running the executable will take because the web site and server experience very minor traffic and is set up just for a few a these customers.

I guess my question is: How do I get an ASP to activate a short running executable that will run on the server. (the .exe reads the file, produces the jpgs and then drops out)
Thanx,
Neil
