    I don't think so, I think the browser will kick it into either the auto ask if they want to start the exe or download it. I can tell you this I don't want a exe starting on its own without me saying ok. That has the smell of Virus all over it. Regards, Bill

    Yah..

    For one with IE you can choose open file fromt his location and click yes.. and that will launch the executable (after click)

    For two you can get a ActiveX component that will do that for you.. (I don't know of a free one but last I looked there where several for sale)

    Your best bet is with a flash standalone executable though it works the nicest..

    But as Pope de Flash mentioned there are security issue's..
