If the program you are trying to communicate with was build to support the
COM interface (probably a .dll) then you can use CFOBJECT. Look for the
OleViewer on Microsoft's site it will show you the methods and properties of
the program if you have no 3rd party documentation.
If you are trying to talk to an exe, you might try using the outputfile
property of CFEXECUTE to output the return value of the call to a txt file
and then read it back into a variable on the page with cffile.
