i have set up an intrenet site on at work.
i have about 90 pc's, which access the intrenet site on a a regular basis.
what i want to do is that i want the intrenet site to be loaded up everytime the person logs into the comptuer, and then throught there they can access all the files that are required.
in theory the staff are only allowed to use three programs, that have been created by us in IT.
three database programs.
i want some how to open the databases from a link on the itrenet site.
so instead of having short cuts on there desktop, they click on the link that will open the file.
this will save me a lot of time putting shortscuts on ppls' computer if they delete it form the comptuer accidently.
i have tried to use the
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"file:///C:/lrsv2/lrsv2.mdb"> loadv2 </a>
but this will for some reason open two lots of the program. if this is problem is cured easly then this would do the trick.

i have tried some asp code, but it will not do it properly.

is there any way of doing this , i do not mind it if it is in html, javascript or even asp.
as long as i get the thing to work.

oh and i want the file to be running from the client machine and not from the server.

any suggestions.you want to link to an intra net site, but run it off of all local machines? Doesnt sound like you grasp the client server model here.

First: Keep your intra net server running at all times. If the computers are connected on a network, then they can now access the intranet. secondly, put you applications into asp based pages. For instance: if you have a file that needs to be updated, you don't link to the database, but rather a asp page you create to do the updates.

If they want a list of all employees, you don't give them a link to the database, you give them a asp page that will generate the list.

This is what I do everyday.... and it takes time and patience. I wish it were as easy as assing links.... but then I wouldn't have a job! ha!I'm agree with Dr. Web.
It's a MUST that your IT division divide the apps
in a three layer model wich upper level must have
an WEB front-end.

I'm developing a similar solution for our company
using PHP and MySQL.

Best Regards.
