Not opening in IE

[florida41]

How can I open an Access 2000 database from a web page with a Windows 2000 Server? I just want to open it up and not use Cold Fusion or anything else but just open it.
It works with Netscape 4.77 but IE and Netscape 7 it is not working.
It opens if I put this file path in the URL address in the IE browser:

file:////myInfoServer/test.mdb


But when I try and put it as a link for a web page:

<a href="fil
3A////myInfoServer/test.mdb">test</a>

I also tried:

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

It tries to open after clicking on IE link and says its downloading after I select 'Open' but it never opens. In Netscape 4.77 link, the Access Database opens and works. Please advise.

I gave you something to try in your other post of identical nature, but I'll post it here too:

Have you tried this?
<a href="

http://fileserver/test.mdb">test</a>

Thanks, it still does same thing where it says its downloading then I get a quick progress status and it never shows. Any other advise?
