Sending a parameter from a website to a application

[JeroenDortmans]

I have a website with a database running on a server. Some numbers stored in this database can be used to view drawings outside this website with the help of a special windows based application. When I make a BAT file which holds the path to this special windows based application and a number of a drawing, the application is opened with the right drawing. The BAT file would look like this:
echo off
<path> 1234567
exit
Now I want to open this application with the right drawing directly from the website. When I to do this with a hyperlink using a parameter from the database the application is opened, but the parameter isn't &quot;entered&quot;, so you don't see the drawing. Is there a special way to send parameters from a website to a windows based application? I really need help with this one!!!

JeroenDortmans,

Since you have an application that is Windows-based, running it from a web site (actually accessing it from a browser, NETSCAPE or IE) will not work. Your application will come up on the console of that WEB server, not the client browser.

What you would need to do is create web pages that would be similar to what you would see on the console.

OR you might want to look into .NET applications in the future.
