Please Help?! Opening a file from a Web Page

A

A. Smart

I have a hyperlink that opens an Access database. Is there any way of
automatically opening the file without the dialog box (Do you want to: Open,
Save etc.) coming up?????
Cheers

No. What is the purpose of opening the Access database, which requires users to have Access? Have
you considered using the FP Database component to display the data from the database on a .asp page?

You need to access MS Access database content via ASP pages (use the results
wizard in FP for the basics) not directly by opening the MDB (MS Access)
file.

It will always download; it won't open online like a PDF or Word or Excel
doc. In anycase, if the person downloaded it, they'd still need the Access
application to open the file.
