can anyone point me in the right direction on how to launch a client
application from an asp.net page?

I understand why browsers don't let you cleanly do this due to security
reasons but.... If it helps, I am on a closed intranet and so can install
active x components on the client machines if need be...

Thanks,

George,

    There is a way, provided the user has the .NET framework installed, to
deploy a server-based winform executable via the browser. The MSDN article
at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnadvnet/ht
ml/vbnet10142001.asp will give you the basics; if you have further questions
and this group can't quite answer them, I'd recommend asking the aspngclient
list ( http://aspfriends.com/aspfriends/aspngclient.asp ) or the winforms-vb
list ( http://aspfriends.com/aspfriends/winforms-vb.asp ).

Regards,

Peter
