Hey guys....I am trying to make an internal web site for our company. Is it possible to link to a program so if they click on a link it will open up that program ? I tried to put it as a regular link (a href=.......) because the program is stored locally on everyones machine but it didn't work. Thanks in advance

That should work, but it obviously only works on PC. If you know that your office is primarily PC (more than likely) then you should be ok. If not, you'll have to make a Mac link also using the "Hard Drive:Folder:Folder" path.

Further, when someone clicks the link, they will be asked to either "Save" the file or "Run from current location." Definitely use the "Run from current location."
