Launch Access via an Intranet hyperlink

[CJTyo]

I'm having a problem getting my Access database to actually open so I can use it. I've put a hyperlink on an Intranet web page to the database on a company public drive. When I click the hyperlink I get the "save or open" box, click open and briefly see what looks like download type box and then nothing happens. Checking Task Manager I see an instance of Access running, but there is nothing visible...

OS = Windows 2000
Access = Access 2000

Any thoughts on this? The same thing happens if I include the hyperlink in an email... I really need to be able to have the application launch from a hyperlink.

Thanks!

As a follow-up... when I have the DATABASE on my C drive it works perfectly well. So, any thoughts on what our network might be doing to block the Database from launching?

Thanks!

Further research reveals... if I have a DB to the web server and there is NO CODE I can open it from a hyperlink just fine, BUT, if there is even a single line of code (docmd.maximize) the DB will NOT open.

Does this help identify what restrictions might be imposed by our network? Or is this actually a limitation to opening an Access database via a web hyperlink?

Thanks,
C
