By default you can't open / launch an
executable from within an html browser window.

You can however link to a document that will cause
the application to open in Windows.

Hi Kip,

You said this is a company website so is the type of browser defined, e.g.
everyone uses IE? If so, then you can create a component that will run the
exe file.
 
what type of component would i need?

<script language="VBScript">
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "C:\WINNT\notepad.exe"
</script>

You can supress the prompt by changing the browser Intranet security setting to Enable 'Initialize and script ActiveX controls not
marked as safe.'
 
Whoa, that would allow any and all files to be downloaded an ran. Not a good
thing aka Martha Stewart.
