Hi,

I would like to create a hyperlink to open an Access database on our "home"
page. When the user clicks the hyperlink, it will open the database to the
Main Menu of the database. The database is located on the server in a folder
located with other Front Page docs. I am not sure where to start.

Karen, I'm not sure what you mean by opening to the "main menu of the database".

But if what you want is hyperlinks to pages that show data from the database,
then make the "menu" on your home page using Frontpage and then assign each menu
item a hyperlink to a corresponding page on your website where you have used the
Database Results Wizard to produce the data expected from that menu item.

We use Front Page for our intranet website. I want the user to be able to
click on a link and have that link open the Access database. The main menu
(switchboard) of the database already has links to certain reports that the
user can choose to run.

If you know the network path to the switchboard, create a link to it from
your intranet web page.

Thanks, we created the link, but the database does not open for everyone.
After clicking on File Download - Open, the screen flashes, almost like it
opened and closed right way, but does not open the database. It will let
you save at the File Download menu. On my computer, it opens with the
following message "Access to the specified device, path or file is denied."
When I click ok, the database is open and at the main menu.

You really can't have users access the database directly via a web page. On the web you need to use
ASP/ASP.net , etc. to access the database.

But wouldn't a link to the switchboard work? They're not opening the
database.

We have a SQL database on the same server that uses Cold Fusion language.
Could I still open the Access database using Cold Fusion on the Front Page
website?
