Open form in Access with web page...

That DEPENDS on where your web page is running.
You can insert a HYPERLINK that opens an Access database, but I'm not sure how you'd tell the page where the database is - I just tried it with a simple Word document on my PC , tossed in a hyperlink to a database and viewed the doc in "Web Page Preview" - worked just fine when I clidked the hyperlink text.
BUT, if you put this document on a web server, I'm not sure how it would react. And I can't test that at the moment.
SO, the answer is, if the web page is "local", e.g. on your disk or a network share, you should be able to get it to work. But if the web page is 'served' to a browser by IIS or Apache or something like that, it might not.

Yes you can. Use the /CMD command-line argument option, and pass it the name of a form you want to open.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Samples\Northwind.mdb" _
/cmd "Orders"
then, write a small function that checks the value of the COMMAND argument:
Function CheckCommandLine()
' Check value returned by Command function.
If Command = "Orders" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "Orders"
ElseIf Command = "Employees" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "Employees"
Else
Exit Function
End If
End Function
Stick a call to this function in the AUTOEXEC macro, and you should be all set.
The above is lifted from Access Help on Command-line arguments, and the COMMAND function.
