We have an HTML (actually HTA, I inherited it from the person who had the job before me) page that provides a menu for our staff for various in house applications, some of which are MS Access databases. Icons appear for each application. I am using the onclick action to open these databases as follows:
I am aware that this is less then ideal because it means multiple users can attempt to use the same .mde file however my database is split so the .mde only has forms, queries etc. My current problem is this:
A user clicks on the icon for whichever application they need, they are presented with the 'File Download' warning asking if they want to 'open' or 'save' the file. The users are trained to select 'open', and the .mde opens in a separate window, like a regular Access database. When the user closes the MS Access application, the .ldb sticks around. Does anyone know if there is a way I can force the .ldb to close/delete when a user exits the .mde?
Thank you.
