Hello folke,
I believe this is a permissions issue. ASPNET user doesnt have permissions
to see the file. You could do it with impersonation if its an internal ASP.net
service. However I'd strongly discourage you from starting processes using
asp.net

OK!
So here is the problem.
On a Server is MyApp.mdb (Access Application)
Users want to use MyApp.mdb from a Link in a Web Page.
What is the best way to start MyApp.mdb from the Web Page?
The do not accept to map to ther server and just doubleclick on myapp.mdb!

Hello folke,
There is no concept of *starting* an mdb. You'd need to download the mdb
file and I can see you may need to use DIME if you want to use web services.
otherwise just a http like to the mdb should do!

Thanks for your answer.
Look at code below!
private void btnStart_Click( object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
myProcess.Start ();
}
private void btnStop_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
System.Diagnost ics.Process[] myProcesses;
myProcesses =
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Get ProcessesByName ("MSAccess") ;
foreach (System.Diagnos tics.Process instance in myProcesses)
{
instance.WaitFo rExit(3000);
instance.CloseM ainWindow();
}
This is for a Windows app. When I configure the myProcess object
StartInfo/FileName to "c:\x\y\msApp.m db" I can start and stop any number of
Access windows running msApp.mdb
I just wonder why an ASP.NET app cannot do the same thing (can't find the
file)?
As for your response I'll follow your advise and go for a download, maybe
execute it from within an ActiveX control!

Hello folke,
Yes but if you do that in the ASP.net process theoretically it will start
the access application in the server. It wont however because it will not
have permissions to do so. How is that in any way benefitial to u? May be
am missing something. Anyways to answer your question the ASP.net user doesnt
have permissions to do what you are wanting it to do
