open MSAccess from browser

[Michael Peters]

in my intranet application I need to open a MSAccess session from
within the browser. The idea is to have a button clicking which would
transfer a certain key value to Access, open Access with a certain form, and
open it with the corresponding table row - all not on the server but on the
client.

Is there a way to do this? Of course, the mdb is not located in the
webserver directory (if it were, I could possibly use a simple link).

Do you know the exact location of the mdb on the client?
Do you know for sure the client has the necessary form, table, etc?
Is this targeted to IE only?

If yes to all, use an HTA and do a system call to Access passing the proper
params.
