cannot open access database from a hyperlink using Internet Explorer

I have a Microsoft Access 2000 (9.0.4402 SR-1) database that I am
attempting to launch from a hyperlink using Internet Explorer (Version
6.0.2800.1106).
If I attempt to launch the database from the webpage with the
hyperlink using Netscape, the database opens fine.
If I attempt to launch the database from the webpage with the
hyperlink using Internet Explorer, the database does not open. When I
open Task Manager and check the PROCESS listing, I see that
MSACCESS.EXE is running, but my database did not open and display the
startup form page.
I have other Microsoft Access databases that open just fine from
hyperlinks using Internet Explorer. The problem seem to be peculiar
to the database, but I have not been able to identify how this one
database is different from the other databases that open OK. Any help
would be appreciated.

Hello, ASP does not work locally on my main web site when I browse the machine locally at the console itself, but to the outside world all is fine, and ASP executes normally. I have 4 other virtual webs on this server and I can browse ASP pages fine, locally. We need this working for a search engine product that is failing when trying to execute URLs against this virtual web site, locally.

I link to a web site from an Excel spreadsheet. The page i link to is getCookie.asp which sets a cookie then returns back some html which opens a new window, to the same site but a different page (same folder). The cookie is not received. Can someone explain why? I worked around this by adding a cache-control header with a value of no-cache. This fixes the problem. Unfortunately that causes another problem with Internet Explorer...

Ok, here's a strange one... I'm using a lot of Followhyperlink code in my MS Access2000 application to launch various websites. All my forms are popup, so they run outside the MS Access window which I keep shrunk. When a user launches a website through the Followhyperlink, the website opens fine. If the user closes the window, Access returns back in the state it was in before running the followhyperlink code. But, it the user hits the...

I have a wierd problem that I can't find any reference to in the knowledge base. I develop simple databases at the company where I work, and many of them are used by hundreds of employees. We all have the same basic computers with the same base image. The problem is, whenever I create a hyperlink object in the database, I'm able to click on it from my PC and it works just fine. All other users click on it and Access just sits there...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
