I don't understand your question - it is a link or it isn't? A link implies that it is a URL, in which case this would all be in the browser?

Could you define what you mean by 'link'?

[trkece]

actually its not a link, its a application, the programme has to go to that application and i have to click on to the search button ( which is located down in that application)

So you can launch apps with java using native commands, and you can even click buttons using the Robot class, but unless the app spits out some kind of file you can read, or has a public API for interfacing with it, you will be hard pressed to actually get the results of any actions it takes into java.

Whatever that 'link' may be, suppose that other program processes my bank accounts; I don't want others to be able to see the details and every even half decent operating system forbids such peeking.

pls? revrt?

kind regards,
