I just read that there is a security issue with bringing up an Access 2000 database in IE6 browser web link. For Netscape 4.77 I can bring up and view my Access database in a web link. But when I try it with IE6 it says it is downloading it and it never comes up.

Code:
<a href="file:\\myInfoServer\test.mdb">test</a>

Please advise how I can bypass or correct this security issue and bring my database up in IE6 Web link just like I can in my Netscape 4.77 Browser?
 
Typical Microsoft, isn't it? Accessing Microsoft files using Microsoft software is dangerous, it seems! Just stick with Netscape, or its successor Mozilla/Firefox.

That's the best I can come up with, I'm afraid.
