No, the server is very different from the client, even if they are on the same machine. I know of no way you can have an HTML link open up software on your machine. If it were possible, that would open up a whole world of security issues. What about making the link something like ftp://localhost/somefile and have an FTP server set up on the same machine. You could set up your local machine to respond as you wish to the ftp:// link (might be easier to configure in Konqueror) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
