I'm trying to construct a URL that will open an Access database on the users PC. The database is in a folder that all users have access to.

I can get it to ask me if I want to download, but not to just launch the DB.

Can anyone assist.

Thanks

Clarifications

You really do not open it with a URL, as it's not a web app.

You can create a Windows desktop shortcut to launch the Access application, simply by creating a link to the MDB file.
