Problem opening a link from webpage to a access db file on a network share

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!

Hi,
Is this problem just occures to part of users? Is these computer installed any security software? If that it is, try to disable them for test.
It would be better to disable the AV software, then restart the computer to test the problem again if it appears.
If no use, in my opinion, it would be better to use network Monitor to capture the web access trace when clicking the link.
This could help us have a deep insight about this problem.
If there is any difficult, please feel free let us know.

I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

Dear Linc,
Thank you for the advice, John Blanchard1 and Linc Davis
As suggested in your reference thread I removed "/Library/Printers/hp/PDEs/hpPostScriptPDE.plugin" and the problem has been resolved.
I am guessing the the plug-in for the hp printers got corrupted and effected every thing, or became unsuitable when I installed an Apple update. I would be most grateful if you can confirm how the problem was coursed so I can understand and learn from this experiance.

Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it

Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it.
This happens only when a load my pdf file on my server, because if i click on the link when the file is on my iPad, the page opens without problem.
Any help please?
thanx

the % sign is often used when there's a space in a name. HTML doesn't like spaces so it fills them with % or %20
try, on the end of that link, see if there's a space built into the page or the link when the page was made
On the web address you may be able to 'backspace' at the end and erase that space to get the address, but whomever made the page possibly put a mistake in the link

Open a link from exe.

Hi frnds,
When I am opening a link from a shell (exe or Projector),
its opening behind the projector or exe.
How can I make that browser window to get open over my
project's exe ?
Note: my projector is running in full screen mode and it is
standalone not in a browser.
pls help me !!!
thanks................

it is been a while since i messed around with javascript, but there is a very simmple javascript command that can go in the HEAD of your html code.
window.focus
or something like that (any javascript site will give you a snippet).
based on you description the problem you might find is another:
once the browser is opened on top and you them click on your app again, the browser window will go behind and there is no way to bring it forward again unless you minimize you app.

Open a link from an email received ?

Have this problem for quite awhile, I cannot open a link from email received, what should I do, update or whatever etc., !

the Home button is the round indented button on the front of your iPad immediately above where the cable (to charge / sync) plugs in. It has the symbol of a square with rounded corners on it.
A reset will fix somethings that a power off then on won't.
Before you do the reset you should probably quit Mail: go to the multitasking screen (press and hold the Home button until a screen appears with a row of preview windows for each open app, each with the apps icon underneath), then swipe the Mail preview screen (not the icon) up off the top of the screen. (there must be no left-right motion for this to work).
As Jim said, do a reset by holding the Home button and the Power button down for 10+ seconds until the Apple logo appears. Let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait 30+ seconds for your iPad to restart itself.

Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Problem opening Office documents from KM

Hello, I have some problem opening Office documents from KM.
We stored a lot of office documents (Excel, Word ecc.) in a File System repository (the standard repository "/documents"), when I open one of these files, before to view the document, a little logon window appears, it asks portal user's credentials.
If the user presses the "Cancel" button the logon window will be closed and the document showed, but on the next attempt to open an office file the system will asks again the user information .
If the user gives the right information the documents will be showed and the logon window does not appear again..
How con I avoid the logon request for each Office document in my repository?
Any suggestion??
Best Regards

Thank you a lot Brad!!
We use Office 2003 and the note 549610 solves our issue!!
Best Regards.

I guess you are trying to connect from the R3/ECC to the Portal Server.
Are these two systems in the same network? Do you have usernames (valid and fully authorized) in both systems? What is the OS on which these two systems are housed?
Please provide these details to proceed further.

How do I make Firefox 4 the default browser? Whenever I open a link from email, it opens in the older version of Firefox.

I followed the installation instructions for Firefox 4, after I had the earlier version. Whenever I open a link from email or other programs, it opens in the earlier version of Firefox, not Firefox 4.

You'll need to get the Actions dialog to appear and check the use as default action at the bottom of the list. One of the common ways to get this to appear is to follow a link from an email program or a soical network app like Facebook or Twitter.

Problem connecting DataBase Link from windows oracle to oracle on Linux

I'm facing a problem with database links from windows oracle to Oracle hosted on Linux server.
I'm able to successfully create the Database Link using the following query on oracle database hosted on a windows server
CREATE DATABASE LINK SampleDB
CONNECT TO myuser IDENTIFIED BY password
USING 'sample';
The tns names entry on windows for database in Linux server is as follows
DSOFT =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.100)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = sample)
But while executing the query "select count(*) from doctor@SampleDB;" in sql developer on windows, I'm getting the following error
SQL Error: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
12154. 00000 - "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
*Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
naming method repository, or the repository could not be
located or reached.
Using the above tns entries, i'm successfully able to connect to the database in Linux server through sql developer installed on the windows machine. Then why i'm getting this error while executing the query on Database Link?. Can any one help me?

Can any one help me?A database link is acting as a client to the target, remote database in exactly the same fashion and using exactly the same tns infrastructure as any other client trying to connect to that remote database. your ORA-12154 when querying a db link means exactly the same as if you had gotten it trying to connect with sqlplus, from the same server. Check the link SB provided. Keep in mind that the tnsnames file of concern is the one on the source database server.

Openning a Link from MS Office OneNote 2007 launches MS Internet Explorer althoug FireFox is my default Internet browser. Any idea how to cause OneNote 2007 to Launch FireFox instead?

Openning a Link from MS Office OneNote 2007 launches MS Internet Explorer althoug FireFox is my default Internet browser. Any idea how to cause OneNote 2007 to Launch FireFox instead?

Below is how it is being done. This worked perfectly for years. MS Office 2007 does complain that the file extension does not match the data format (it's a tab delimited text file but I'm pretending it's an Excel file so they'll be prompted to view it as a spreadsheet in Excel) but you just click open and it works fine. This issue with IE is new. Let me know if you have any more ideas.

HT4061 I opened a link from a spam e.mail. will it effect my iPad? can my iPad get viruses

I opened a link from an e.mail that turned out to be a spam, will it effect my iPad, can my iPad get a virus?

Yes. As long as you practice safe internetting. If you click on a phishing mail and enter your info into a bad site, your info is just as compromised as if you entered it on a computer. You can still be phished on an ipad. It will give you protection from viruses (they literally can't run) but your data is only as safe as your actions.
