My form is a standard html page that I converted to asp. I inserted the captcha code into the form and had no difficulty. I'm trying to figure out if you can execute another file (or somehow call another file) when the answer is given correctly. In a nutshell, I'm trying to figure out how not to rewrite this formmail.pl that is in the cgi-bin but have it executed when the answer is correct. Is this possible?

I doubt that would be possible and even if you did find away then the spammers could easily submit directly to the formmail.pl script so having the CAPTCHA would not prevent you getting spam.

What you should do instead is look for a way to send email using ASP. There are plenty of examples of CDOSYS which is an email component built into the Windows OS that can be used through ASP.
