Hyperlinks to Access Database with Command Line Switches

[Guest]

I would like to create links to macros in my Access Database which will
simply pull up and display a report. Access tells me that if I put the
switch /x macroname following the application name, it will run the macro
only (which in this case is simply displaying the report).

When I try to put the switch /x on my hyperlink command line, it flips the /
to be \ which would make \x an invalid switch. The flip happens as soon as I
click OK on my hyperlink defination box and go right back in it again.

I also tried adding the switch using the parameter button, but that didn't
work either.

If this is something that can't be done, does anyone know who I can get a
single report in an access database to run off a hyperlink in my intranet. I
believe Data Access Pages are not an option because most of my end-users do
not have XP.

Thx, Dj

You can not run Access from the web / hyperlink. You can use ASP or FP database component to display
the content of the database on a web page.
