Not very clear what you exactly want to do. If you want to execute an 
executable file on the CLIENT side (machine of the visitor): impossible 
by using ASP.
But if you mean that you want to execute a file on the webserver, than 
take a look at the following code. This will do I guess. 
<%
Set server_shell = Server.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
server_shell.Run "%comspec% /c FILENAME.EXE"
%>
As you might guessed: replace FILENAME.EXE with the file you wish to 
execute. 
Good luck, hope this helps.
