You wouldn't use HTML to do this; HTML is not a programming language and
doesn't actually "do" anything.

You need to use a scripting or programming language on the server, such as
PHP, ASP, server-side Javascript, C/C++, Perl, whatever...

Then (and this is the HTML bit) you need to create an HTML link to the
program on the server, providing all of the information the program needs
in the link.

example:

<a href="emailer-program.exe?email_address=fudge@tugly.net">SEND EMAIL</a>

OR

<a
href="database-submission-tool.php?db=bigdatabase&amp;username=user&amp;password=dontsendpasswordsintheurl">PROCESS
DATABASE SUBMISSION</a>

or similar...


The actual creation of the server side tool is the hard part. :)

What, exactly, do you need to do?

What resources do you have available to do it with? (server environment,
programming skills, etc.)

later...
