All computers have the exe in the same directory (and all computers use IE4.0). JP Stone is correct, though, the open/save box does pop up. I've called some microsoft employees about IE; from the standpoint of IE programmers, the open/save dialog box is hard coded into IE for security reasons. Thats why I thought an applet might be able to do it. I'm too new to java to be able to write it myself.

I have tried that before and ended up with a 'save as/open' option.

I knew about the open/save dialouge- I should have mentioned it. The program runs if you choose "open" but this is distracting for the viewer.

A Java Applet may be what you need, hopefully someone here is good with regular Java and can help you out more.

If you can get everyone to put the file in the same location on their hard drive you could probably just write a normal link pointing to the file.
