Hi all,

This is probably very easy but in the brief looks i have had so far I
have not yet found the answer.

I am writing a program for internal use within the company i work for.
However, I want to create links from a web page to pass information
into the program.

I was thinking click on a hyperlink.myprogextension

which the user clicks open and a command is passed to the program or
another program which loads and connects to a port, and passes the
info in the file to the main program.

The program is always running so actually opening a file should just
toggle it to do certain actions with the data passed.

Is there an obviously solution to keep it simple? or would the open
with another program and pass via a network link be the best method,
as there is only 1 running instance of the main program?

Also how do you associate links in the java programming language in
windows, to enforce the loading of a file to an assigned java program?

Hope the above makes sense, any ideas to keep it as simple as possible
would be great or just pointers would also be really appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

David
