Is it possible to HOST an application on a Client PC from a Web enabled Form?

[Quoted] [Quoted] Can anyone advise please...?

I have a Forms 4.5 Form running in a web browser with a Push Button for an end user to click on. This button fires a 'WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED' trigger which utilizes the HOST command to start SQL*PLUS and run a script which generates a report for the user on the client PC. However, when the button is pressed SQL*PLUS starts on the Server rather than on the Client!!!

Is there a way of telling the HOST command that it should start the version of SQL*PLUS (or any other application for that matter) installed on the client rather than the server application? Might there be variables on the client which can be accessed?

Thanks in advance,
