About David Oldfield
Expertise
I can answer all questions related to Client / Server or COM application development with Visual Basic or JAVA. I can usually answer the questions about Visual C++ development of the same, however, I avoid them, as they are quite time consuming, and usually developers who use C++ know what they are doing.

Answer
I cannot tell you the specific language (as this is compiled), but I can tell you everything you need to know to make this...

First of all, in this case, as much as possible was done in HTML, the remaining portion was done with public ActiveX controls (which is not compatable with many browser variations).

I suggest using visual basic... you can build a public control with visual basic (select ActiveX Control).

After building the control, you need to register it with the server, and import it using the code generated by the editor.

I would like to suggest using java instead, however, as it is cross-platform... and there is more structured documentation (Java is slow... but it works well).

Check out java.sun.com ... the compiler and editors you need are free.  See what you can do there...

All the best,
Dave
