Passing variables from remote desktop session to local machine running the session.
Need to pass variables from a Microsoft Remote Desktop session ( server2003to the OS and applications of the local workstation (2000 or xp) running the remote desktop session.
The application running on the remote desktop session is a Delphi exe accessing a paradox file.
We need the remote desktop application to pass data that tells the local desktop what application to open ( MSWord, MSExcel, Adobe, etc) and what file to get.
We do not want to install these MS applications on the remote desktop machine.
When the user chooses a record in the remote desktop Delphi application, the local workstation opens the correct application locally ( not remote desktop) and loads the correct file.

Clipboard solution sounds possible, how do we get the local desktop to take over once the clipboard has been loaded with the data?
What is the trigger on the local machine that opens the local app and loads the required file?

questions 1, 2 using identical user account as the user account on the server hosting the remote desktop.
we dont use domain, only work groups.
question 3. As of now, we do not redirect the local drive to the remote desktop session. Howeve, both local desktop and the remote desktop session have access to the server's drives.
thanks
