I am currently putting the final touches to my unit 6 computering A-level course work. The best way to to execute the program is from a button within Internet Explorer 7.

1) I need to know how to either add a button to IE7 or add a toolbar to IE7 that contains the button.

Also your thoughts.....

2) Would (if so how) it be possible to make a button so when clicked would copy the currently selected content in a webpage to the windows clipboard and launch an application.

3) would it be possible to make the button (when clicked) pass parameters to the application it launches.

Thanks for your help.

Try this:
Adding Toolbar Buttons
I did not test it but I think it will/should work.. if it does not work tell me.. I'll give you something else.

Thanks this works great. Does suppose you know how to right a script that can be linked to the button that when executed copies the selected content on the active tab in the active window to the clipboard and then launchs a application.

Thanks again.

I am creating an application that processes records for a company. The records are accessed remotely via a website. The application is not allowed to access the records directly due to data protection so the user copies the records to the clipboard and then paste them into the application. I want a button in IE that copies the selected records to the clipbaord and opens the application. I have written an VBscript that copies the data to the clipboard and opens the application but...I don't know how to make it pass the program a viarable.
