  Hi, hoepfully someone can tell me where I'm going wrong, I'm trying to run a program with parameters but I can't seem to get it to work, the syntax is below;

   <a href="file:///P:\colin\audits\WinAudit.exe /r=gmostxEN /o=CSV /f=p:\colin\audits" target=mainFrame>Machine Audit</a>

  If I remove the parameters it seems to launch the program okay but I can't launch it with the parameters as I can in command line

  Any idea's,

  Sorry but I don't get what you mean by change the = to angle brackets, do I need to change them all or what, could you give me an example, or better still change the line I gave in my first post to explain it to me

  Thanks
