I want to load an Access Application that will open a databse on the client machine when a user clicks a link.
I cannot install the Access database on the client. Assuming the client has Access installed.

How do I enable this over the web?

Any help highly appreciated? If you need more info please let me know.

Thank you
 
You can make it with ASP, depending on what you want to do exactly.

With ASP the client doesn't need Access installed since it's server side script.

Yes more info would be good, if not for me for others. Have Fun...

I hope this helps:
When the user clicks on a link, the link will load a asp/html page this page will open a Access database, so that the user now has an access envoirnment to work with the tables. The Access database eg dbtest.mdb cannot be placed on the local drive of the client. IT has to be on the server.

You can't really get the functionality of the Access client without the Access client, or some equivalent.

There are a couple ways to do this, one being to make an ASP application.

But of you want full generality (open any table, use forms, sort/filter the tables, etc.) you either have a lot of work to do or you'll need a third-party component, suite, or component-generator.

These guys sell one, for exmaple.
