Interacting with desktop

[John]

Hi

Is it possible for an asp.net site that when it is viewed by a user, the
site can interact with the desktop apps possibly written in vb or access?
The use I am looking for is that if the user clicks on a staff's name in the
site, the site access an ms access app on user's desktop and locates the
relevant staff record.

Thanks

Regards

not without opening up HUGE security holes.

Not in Classic ASP, which is the group you posted in. Of course it's
possible using client code or .NET controls, though you won't enjoy
the security control you have to deal with.

Follow up in a .NET group.
