what i want it to open a file on the client machine, using a link on my internet site.

the thing is that i have created a intrenet site for the company,
which displays all the usual garbage about the company.

the thing is that now they want some how for the users to click on say test (link) and this will either run a batch file on the client computer , or better still run the program on the client computer.

There is not sercurity issues to consider as everybody in the company access the same stuff, and have the same data.

we have a database on the server, which is copied to each workstation when user logs in.
so on each wrkstation the data base is running locally.
but the tables are linked to the server.
so everyone has access to all the files.

so what i want is a link that will open
c:\test\tets.mdb.
just like double clicking on the short cut.

is there any solution to this problem
at all.

any suggestion would be much appreciated
