I am wondering if it is possible to run an Access 2000 database from a HTML website on a corporate intranet. For example, when a user clicks on “The Great Access Database” from the website, I want the click event to execute a particular Access database on a fileserver in the same way as if a user were to click on a desktop icon that runs the Access executable and connects to the mdb file located on the fileserver. I do not want to have to create Data Access Pages or try web publishing the database or what-not; I only want users to click on the labels on the HTML page that actually runs and executes the Access database. Previously, I had deployed desktop shortcut icons on the client computers that ran the Access databases out on the fileserver; also, I had created desktop shortcut icons of batch file scripts that would execute the Access databases with startup options. I simply want to replace the desktop icons with an intranet portal site that accomplishes the same purpose. Please let me know if this possible; I don’t care whether the solution involves the correct HTML tag, VBScript, JavaScript, etc.
