Hi all,
We have a webpage where there are links to the different ressources on our network..
one of these links points to the i:\somefolder\someDB.accdp or whatever extionsen access databases have..
so the idea is that the user goes to the webpage click on the link and because the I: drive on the pc points in the right place it opens the file in access.
this works. IE download manager pops up and asks what to do, open - save - save as
the users says open and access opens the DB for the user.
The problem is that IE download manager says the file was not downloaded and the access database windows does not take focus.
now this may seem like a small thing but we do get allot of support from users saying its not working. The problem here being that users don't see the blinking access icon in the process bar and thinks that clicking the link didn't work.
I assume the reason access doesn't pop into focus after choosing to open it from IE link is because IE sees the file as not downloaded and than nothing happens.
I have no clue why this happens (IE says the file was not downloaded or why access doesn't take focus after choosing open)
I have been at it for days..
I have put the site in the trusted site option which did nothing to solve the issue.
Turned off mime sniffer and screenfilter or what ever the filter in IE is called and i still got the issue
this is IE 11
ANY!... and i mean A N Y ideas would be priciated!
Sincerly
Casper
