How to run an application from Server by Client request

[sdojson]

Hi,
may i ask you a simple (or complicated?) question.

how can I create an server-type application (or just a simple application)
which would be run only from server according to Clients requests.

In other words, how to avoid installation software/application on each network computer and run the application on it from server, i.e. create instances
of it on each computer and receive resulting data on server?

Thank you in advance,
Shab

The concept you're describing is the reason that web applications are so popular. The only important software on the local computer is the web browser.

But there are many levels. I see a lot of MS Access database apps run from network. But most of these require MS Access on the workstation, or some kind of setup.exe. Java is probably the most popular network development platform. But getting the JRE installed and working efficiently on a large base of computers can be difficult.
