Fast Track towards using an existing application on the Internet

One of my existing applications (Document Management System) needs to
be Internet enabled. I mean such requirements came up where users can
run this application on Internet (or be provided with a Web Interface)
so that they can fetch the required documents through Internet when
they are away from the office.
Although this is a new area for me, I went through several Delphi and
other general sites and gained some limited knowledge about COM, DCOM,
COM+, ASP, SOAP and ActiveX. As an initial start, I divided my
application into two parts using DCOM. The server part runs on a W2K
server and transfers required binary files to client application by
converting them to OleVariant varable. This is working fine on the
Local Area Network.
However I am quite confused how to move on to Internet. If I use
"Active Server Object" (ASP) then I have to almost comletely rewrite
new user interface (correct me if I am wrong). ActiveX is probably a
more suitable solution where existing application will need less
changes to run under a web browser. But still not sure what pit falls
and limitation are lying ahead in this way.
Would appreciate any suggestions on this topic.
