No Java required here.

Also look at the System.Diagnostics.Process
namespace. .Net has all the functionality you'll need.

How can I get a button on the ASPX returned HTML to open a local txt filefor edit?
I need the txt document to be editable from the client (txt file is on theclient machine) and not launch in the browser, but instead launch notepad.I am sure that will require Java, so can someone post a snippet that wouldhelp me on that venture?

Thanks!

It needs to be at the client side. I don't expect the clients to have the
..NET framework. My interpretation of the article you directed me to is an
article to wait for an external process at the server to complete.

Requirement: I need to add a links or buttons to the HTM file that is
generated on the fly that will open text documents in notepad for edit. I
will also need to open a PDF in the full version of acrobat (if installed on
the client) so comments can be added to that document. I assume this will
require java script to launch a specific application or application by
association. Can anyone please point me to a sample solution of doing
something like this?
