I have a web page with a list of items created via an .asp page. The same items are in a field in my Access form. I want users to be able to double-click the item and pull up the Access form (also have the same thing on a Data Page) with the correct record displayed. Any clues on how to do this would be most appreciated!
 
I don't think it's possible, if your doing a website form and displaying that way, you need to keep it that way. Having users open the database using the MSAccess front end over the internet is not possible(that i know of) and the web browser would try to download the DB if directly linked to it.

Have to try another DB is you want that, since access isnt built for that. Or do you designs on the website through asp/php(recommended)
 
Thanks for the response, Candyman...but I think it can be done, maybe using an Access data page, which is a form replicated in html. Having said that, you could be absolutely correct, 'cause I sure haven't had any luck!
