I want to have a button that will run a program on the user's computer that they would have installed on their computer.  This program will generate a zip file.  I then want to have another button on the page that uploads the zip file and unzips the file contents.  How would I do something like this.  I know DNN can upload, and unzip files.  Is it possible to run a program on the client computer?  And how would I make the other button upload a file from a set place on the users computer so they wouldn't have to browse to it?  Is this even possible?  Any help or best practices with this would be great. 

Thanks, Matt

>> Is it possible to run a program on the client computer?

No.  Web pages cannot execute code on a local PC, except in the case of security vulnerabilities.  The only way you could do this is to write a browser plugin or ActiveX control and have end users install it.

Thanks that is what I was thinking.  Just double checking.
