Weird programming VB ASP situation

Hey guys,

OK. I have a weird situation. I need to launch an ASP script
on a browser through a classic VB6 app. Here' what happens.

The user generates an export file of data from the VB app.
The VB app then uploads the data to an ftp site. Next I need
to launch an asp scripts from the ftp/website which imports the data from the export file into an ACCESS Database which resides on the ftp/website.

I know it sounds horrible. The people doing this before did it manually in the steps that I described. Now they want it automated. Any ideas on how to launch the asp script from a VB app.

How would I go about launching the asp script from VB?

What is your question?

Do you want info on how to open a browser from a VB app or info on how to read a text file and extract the data into an insert query?

From VB you'll need to use something that can make an HTTP request to the web server to activate the asp page. You can use the xmlHTTP object, webbrowser control, ms inet control, an instance of IE, or straight socket coding to accomplish this.
