Hi,

I have a problem trying to open an access 2002 database (i.e. an mdb file) from within a browser window (I.E. ver 6 sp2). I am not expecting it to open within the browser but to open with its native application (i.e. access 2002) which is installed on the pc. The hyperlink points to the mdb file within the web page and when a user clicks on the link I get the usual messages:

"Do you want to open or save this file"

I click open

"The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?"

I click on Run (choice is run or don't run)

And then nothing more happens. I would normally expect Access to kick in and load the mdb file. Does anyone know why Access is not initiating? If I save the file and double click it access opens normally displaying the database.
