I would like to be able to retrieve some information from a database, and use that information as parameters to a local program (i.e. a program running locally on a PC).
I would therefore like to know if Codecharge has a way of starting a program locally (and if so how?).
I would very much appreciate your assistance. Thank you very much!

Short answer: NO.
For security measures, a program running in a server can't get access to local filesystem. Antivirus, firewalls and security software will identify it as trojan/malware.
You can use ActiveX or Java to embed in your page and fire an event in the local PC. That's not codecharge. You can use javascript also, but most explorer will block it.

CodeCharge Studio is an IDE. Therefore, CCS won't actually -start- any
program other than itself. Now the underlying scripting languages that
CCS aids in developing can start other programs (or execute the
executables). An example would be the PHP system call to execute your
program. This of course would require that PHP is running on your system.
Reading between the lines, sounds like you just need to set some
parameters for an existing program, perhaps in a config or ini file (?).
For this, look at Java (not javascript), for which CCS can help you
create.
