Can an Application be run using a Textbox Hyperlink?

I'd like to be able to run a client-side application by clicking on a text
item in a report, but none of the available Hyperlink actions on the
Navigation properties tab seem to apply. Is there any way to run something
having a filename and command line argument like
"C:\Program Files\TestApp\TestApp.exe param"?
The "param" would be the value of the TextBox.
Thanks!Hi Don,
Thank you for your post!
Based on my scope, I don't think you could run the client application
directly in the Hyperlink.
The workaround is write a html page which include some javascript to run
the client application and you could add the html page url in the Hyperlink.
Hope this will be helpful for you to resolve this issue.

It looks like I'd have to pass the value of the textbox as a parameter for
the html page that contains the javascript. Could you point me to an example
where this technique has been used to run a client application?
Thanks,
Don

Thank you for the update.
Here is the sample to run your local IIS Manager:
&

---

var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var oExec = WshShell.Exec("C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\inetsrv\\inetmgr.exe");
Hope this will be helpful!

Thanks for the example; works like a charm! Even permits passing a command
line argument to the local exe application.
