To start, we are still using CF 5.

The user submits a file via a form that then goes to the submit page. On the
submit page after some basic validation has been done on the file to ensure
correct file limits, it needs to be processed. This is where we would need to
execute/call the vb program and pass into it four variables. When the vb
program is done it would need to pass back to the cf page a single tinyint
variable. We will then work with the returning variable to either tell the user
the process was successful or resolve the numeric value to one of the error
message telling the user what went wrong.

What we can't figure how is how to connect to the vb program, pass the
variables into it and get the return variable all from within the calling cf
page. We are limited with what we can do with cfexecute because we are still
using CF 5.

Any suggestion?

Thanx,
