Hi, I'm having the same problems, and I'm running winXP SP2. Because ActiveX is creating security problems, many systems protected against malware will have ActiveX disabled. Certainly none of my computers would run ActiveX
I had some success with Java, but I'm not that happy with what I could achieve writing java code, and the distribution to other computers is still an issue.
I really would like to be able to write control software which would be easier to distribute, or accessed via intranet/internet....
Java script would be the obvious choice for the internet side, but unfortunately TLserver is not designed to work with it
bds1, being experienced programmer you may be able to point me into the right direction. Is there any way to send/receive commands through tcp/ip directly from self-contained program without being dependent on VB, .NET or ActiveX components? Surely there must be a way! There are plenty examples of self contained programs able to communicate regardless of OS setup or installed components?
