Open the MS Access database in outlook - 3/7/2006 1:10:23
Hi
I created a databse file and security file in the sharing drive (E: drive). I want to send the e-mail to other members vis Outlook which the mail contains the link, "E:/db1.mdb", to open the the MS Access database file with security.
I tried to create the mail from Access to outlook, and the body place this
"<A HREF='C:\Microsoft Office XP\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE' E:\db1.mdb /WRKGRP "E:\Secured.mdw" >db1 database</A>"
But, it doesn't work.
Can we use the link to open database file in the outlook?
Thanks.

Yes but just use the file path as your link E:\db1.mdb.
Your users will need to become part of the workgroup using the workgroup administrator on their individual machines before they can access the database though. Adding the workgroup file to the link won't do anything AFAIK.

So, how can I make the link in outlook?
Every member use the shortcut to open the database (with security), because they don't like to join the workgroup in the database, they are not good in computer, because once they join the security file, this will affect others' database file to open.
Do you know what command/code to make the link to open the database file with security when I send email to members via outlook?
Please let me know, thanks.

If you have several databases, each with its own security file I can understand your problem. If however you have the one database with security and the others have "default" security have the users join the workgroup and they should be able to open all the other databases without having to rejoin the default workgroup (they will have to use their password though).

While it may be possible, I personally know of no way to automatically add a user to a workgroup through a command.
