I have a small work related progam that is a simulator. I've put the program
in a folder in FP and tried to run using he .exe file as the hyper link. it
brings up a dos window saying that a file is missing when the file is clearly
in the folder.

is it possible to run in website setting using FP?

The file would either:

run on the server if the folder permissions are set to allow executables to
be run (as a CGI) [FP will not allow web pages within that folder], and will
probably only run if accessed through a browser - not through FrontPage,
which previews.

Or: the file will download.

Note that if the .exe file does run, the DOS box will be on the server, not
the PC accessing the server, if different.

You may also get a message about executable files that may contain viruses, do
you wish to proceed etc etc. Of course it's your own file so I'm sure you know
it doesn't contain viruses, but that is the warning the browser springs up by
default, whenever you attempt to download a .com, or .exe or .bat or whatever
Windows recognises as "executable" - a program file.
