Update client file

I am creating a family web site that includes a VB Chat program I made. I need a script that will execute when a family member logs in to the members area and the script will delete the old version of the activeX control and ask you to download the new one. How would you do this?

You want a script that will delete an active x control off of a users machine and make them download a new one? In asp? I am assumeing you mean visual basic 6 right? It is not possible in asp, or any web scripting for that matter.

No, I meant with a web script. I know how to do it with vb. I didn't know if you could do it with a web script or not. Thanks though.

nope not possible :D . Security limitations, a server cannot modify a users machine. You can do tons of stuff with a server side language and tons of stuff with ssl but there are limits on it.
