Does anyone know if you can execute an actual program from a web page i.e. normally when you click a link it attempts to download the application I want it to execute it for example microsoft word Consider the fact that the program is on a shared drive and everyone using it will be mapped to it

I think you need to get back to basics.

Are your users on the lan or is their only access to the database via the internet?

What should i type

You should still navigate to the file via the network neighbourhood and see what the full path is.

C:\access.mdb on the server doesn't existing on the C:\ of the clients so they are not going to find the file. You need a path like machinename\directoryname\access.mdb

What webserver are you running?
