Start client application from web server

[Pat L.]

I want to launch a client application from the server and send it some
parameters. The application is written in PowerBuilder. Any ideas on
how to do this?

you dont basically.
You can try to use the url value if you know the location
"file:///c:\path\to\file.exe -param1 -param2"
Other then that you really can't call anything on the client from any web
interface, especially not from the server either

You could write an ActiveX control to do it.
