Ok, now I understand you properly.
You know how to do the shortcut approach. You've used that on your own
PC. But you don't want to use that approach for the other 800+
employees. Instead, you'd rather implement it on a web page, so people
can just browse to that page, and click on a link.
Right?
If so, I'm not sure how you'd do a suitable link. But I'm sure that
your webmaster would know. Take him/her a copy of the shortcut, just
like you had in your post. That shortcut is, effectively, a DOS command
line (you could type it in from the command line). Tell him/her that
you need to write a link which, when clicked, will execute that command
line.
/BUT/:
800+ people is a waaaay large # of people to have on a Jet database.
(Jet is the underlying default database engine for Access.) There's no
way that 800 people (or anywhere near it) could use the database
simulatenously. The absolute theoretical limit is 255 simultaneous
users. And the database might (or might not) crap out well before then,
depending on how well it has been designed for a networked environment.
So I hope that you have:
(1) Split your database into a so-called "front end/back end"
structure, and
(2) Done some practical load testing, to ensure that the database will
work ok, /over the internet/, with the expected maximum number of
simulateous users.
If you have /not/ done one or both of those things, you really should
do so, before you even think about deploying it to such a large number
of users.
Cheers,
TC
