Hi,
I have a windows application that creates a html report (developed by me using vb.net).
The software is running on several computers and is not connected to a web server or any other kind of server.
Each report contains anywhere between 300-500 lines (results).
On most of the results, there is a more detailed report that I would like to generate using another program (Windows Console)
This program get the event ID (the result main key) and generats the detailed report.

What I would like to do, is to add an <a href> tag to my primary report that will start the console application in order to display the more detailed report.

something like: <a href='myApp.exe -ID:1234'>Click here</a>

I can not change registry values, change security settings in the web browser or do anything that might endanger the computers. :(

Any ideas, suggestions?

Thanks,
Gil
