Arden, try using batch files, if the programs you are running will accept
command line paramaters you can acomplish almost anything by using cfexecute
to pass a parmater or two into the batch file then onto the application
itself.
I have had problems trying to control applications directly with cfexecute,
the batch file stage really helps.

Yoh Justin -- any chance of posting or sending me some sample code to show
how "easy" it is...
Also, I just got CFEXECUTE to run Visual Fox Pro on the Server, however,
apparently I can not print to the server printer, hence I can't use Adobe
Acobat pritner driver to create PDFs from VFP to be stored on the server.
Any thoughts on how to enable printing to the server or other printer
attached to the network (it's an intranet app where we want users to be
able to do that on occasion).

On the client or server??
Signed Java or activeX or signed javascript(maybe) are the only ways to go
Pretty easy code to it
