Launch MS Access Project from web page

Erica Dunn

Hi all. I'm trying to launch a .adp file from my web page. The
application is residing on the intranet, and the .adp file would be
located on a shared drive that everyone would have rights to. Right
now when the user clicks the link, a download box opens that prompts
them to save or open the file. If they save it locally it works fine.
If they try to open it, an error is given, saying "The file is
located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site. etc... ". The
powers that be don't want this extra step of the user having to save
the file locally before opening it up. They don't want the users
downloading the file to their machines. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

Access is designed to be a local, file-based database, and works best
when each individual has a copy of the .adp on their local
workstation. The .adp contains the front-end objects (forms, reports,
code, etc.) and a link to a SQL Server database. So as a result, you
have permissions involving not only the Access objects to consider,
but also access to SQL Server (which you may or may not be handling by
using SQLS logins instead of Windows authentication) . In short, an
Access .adp is not designed to be a web application. You should
consider a scenario where you deploy the .adp to all of the users who
need it and let them run it on their local machine. If you're worried
about them modifying .adp objects, then compile it as an .ade.

Launch Executable

by: Caroline | last post by:

I'd like to launch an executable file from a web page. Basically, the user enters seven parameters and then clicks a button to generate a graph. The input is written to a file and then read by the exe. The exe then generates a graph based upon the input parameters. I am reading about the Process class and wondering if that is the best approach to this. Can you recommend a KB article?

What permissions needed to launch a COM+ object

by: Dave Kolb | last post by:

If I make ASPNET a member of the admins group it can launch my COM+ object but I do not want to do that. What permissions do I need to set for the lowly ASPNET user so that it can launch a COM+ object. I tried playing with COM+ roles in the MMC but not with any luck. My COM+ object itself does not do any role checking. Thanks, Dave

Access 2002 vs. 2003

by: Neil | last post by:

We are running an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. Our network guy is upgrading to Windows Server 2003 and wants to upgrade Office and SQL Server at the same time. We're moving to SQL Server 2005, and, since he already has licenses for Office Pro 2002, he wants to upgrade to that. I've been saying that we need to upgrade to Access 2003, not 2002, even if Office is kept at 2002. We are also looking to do a fair amount of...

Hi there, I'm very new to activex controls and c# programming. I'm writing a c# application and I want it to be invoked when my users click a button on a web page.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
