Just get them all to use Windows and IE and enable ActiveX, and you're all set. :-v More seriously, though, you would need to explain what the program is, what it does, how it works, etc to get a concrete answer on the appropriate way to REALLY do this. As it stands in the bare-bones question you've posted, the answer is: Provide a link to an .exe file, and tell the user to run it. Either they trust you and do that, or they don't. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some starving artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck. So?
