The app will only be for our Intranet, and we are standardized on Win MS IE
5+ on Win 95, 8 and a few 2K, and yes when this was initially brought up, I
cringed about running an app on a users machine - I said "you don't really
want to do that do you". But it is seen as a way to start migrating our
current development to web based. Right now we only have VB developers, and
me (I've only been working with CF and ASP under a year).
I want it to be menu based, so the user could go to "Distribution Center :
RF Logs" , and launch the VB app "RFLogs.exe" - Much like a standard File,
Edit, ... menu works. I have used the CF_IEMenu tag, and I would like it to
be like this (Maybe).

Yea, well don't "plan" on me or many other security conscious folks let it
run if you do get it done. :)
Anyway, as was said, the only way to do this on a non-intranet user's
machine "automatically" is basically through an windows activex, a plugin or
java. They could as well download a setup.exe to install a small client app
that runs in the background.
What route you go depends what it is and what platforms you want to support.
