ColdFusion executes on the SERVER. Are you trying to START a program on
the CLIENT?
One way would be to build a TSR on the CLIENT that waits for TCP/IP/UDP
commands from a COM object on the SERVER, but then you're faced with all
sorts of remote security issues...
The short answer to your question is NO. But actually, if you're just
trying to execute a program that is already on the client's computer, you
could always have them download a batch file and run that; could be a 1k
download...
