That is why I asked you how your programming skills are! As I mentioned, you
would need to write a CUSTOM server-side web application to do this, which
means, you're not going to find a KB article or online tutorial that tells
you each step in detail. You may be able to search MSDN online to find
articles about each of the pieces (I believe you can), but you're going to
have to put them all together in your own home-rolled ASP app.
