Although Windows did it's usual "Are you sure you want to run this", the 2nd 'file://' option did work. However, that's no good, as Manika said the file should be uploaded to the server and then run, so it would have to be a hyperlink to the file and not the application.

Does he want to launch the programs at the client machine or at the server? If at server, exec() might work. If on windows client, giving link to the program in sys root, might not work. Neither of codes below worked on my machine. *********************************************************************************** Any opinions expressed in email are those of the individual and not necessarily those of the company.
