Thanks Cort - the application is one that exists already. I have emailed the developers and fingers crossed the application accepts parameters.

Generally if you launch an application with parameters after the app name they will get sent to the app, but whether that app receives them and does anything with them or not is up to the individual application. Are you creating the exercise application or does it exist already? -Cort On 1/30/07, Paul Steven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am creating an application using Flash 8 (PC only) and need to launch an > application that is installed on the users hard drive. > > I think this can be fairly easily achieved using a third party app such as > Zinc. > > However I need to do a bit more than just launch the application.
