Can anyone think of a way to add a button to an HMI Screen in FTVSE which will launch an windows executable file? I have a customer who has written an application which will poll a server for database info and update a local table for my PLC to use. But the customer has to keep a keyboard and mouse at the machine in order to Alt-Tab to the program and perform said action.

It's a big touch screen and they can do it all from there if I could add a button to the main page which runs an exe from a local directory.

Anyone know of a way to do that?
