You need a proficient terminal emulator. Wintegrate could be one option of many. > I would like to send a invoice number away to an invoice archive on MS > sql-server to get a pdf copy of the invoice in an Internet Exploreror > acrobat reader window. The simplest method to open a pdf is to write the pdf to a server then send the URI of the pdf to the emulator via an escape sequence. For example, to open a pdf in your browser using ftp using Netterm: CRT CHAR(27):'[]ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/invoice12345.pdf':CHAR(27):'[0*' My personal preference for emulators is Netterm. http://securenetterm.com. It supports the ability to open URIs, kick off programs on the client as well as more sophisticated functions. It's free to evaluate (with no expiry time) and if you decide you want to buy it it's about US$30 for 1 and gets cheaper by the dozen.
