You mean other than just a link to the file? I've run a php page on my desktop before and used links to databases. It worked fine like that.

I'm not sure what you mean by a link --- I simply want to execute MS Access directly from an HTML coded file --- code that
I would imagine being pretty straight forward --- it is just that I'm not familiar with HTML's code set.
I want to have an HTML page and then use options given inside the HTML page to decide which of the four db's I want. ---- simple or so I thought....
Is that not possible ?

No Pat, its before then...
I want to know if there is an HTML command like in one of those "old-fashioned" DOS *.bat files where I can chose a database 1) 2) or 3).... and then get into access 1) 2) or 3).
... so I need to "execute" the access program from an HTML script.
Is there something I'm missing... like a brain cell or two

Yup ! That's it !
Now, is there any HTML equivalent --- and would you know the syntax ?
I can also live with a Javascript equivalent ... but I get hazy!
i know that technically you would never dream of having an HTML piece of code that would generate an "execute command", but in this specific case, it is over local CPUs.
Thanks

Thank-you Pat and Mile ... and others for your help.
I found... err put together two languages -- HTML and Javascript, a menuing system (DHTML) and a system called "HTA" to be able to build what I needed. There are a number of steps involved, so if you still want further information please contact me! NOTE: This is only for ***Local use of the databases ONLY***, not across the internet....
NOTE: And I guess I was really asking some of the wrong question(s)... because of misunderstanding on my part on how the system actually worked !
BTW, anything these days is possible if you look hard enough...
it just may be something else that your looking for.
Thank-you again for your patience,
Marty H.
