Hyperlinking to dbase on server fails

M

melanie

Split Access 2000 database on server. Opens & works fine
if I go to actual location on server.
Dbase set to share & record level set to lock edited
record.
*.ldb file created on opening & happily goes away on
closing database.
Then created hyperlink in intranet web page created in
Word 2000. Goes through the correct motions of asking: to
download file or use from current location (selected use
from current location). Then displays dialogue box as
though 'downloading' & opening file, but doesn't open
Access.
Locked file created & will not release (including logging
off, turning off local machine & restarting).
Have repaired & compacted database, have set hyperlink
using HTML, renamed database, resplit database, created
new split back & front end folders, changed level of lock
etc., but no matter what I do, the dbase works fine except
if I link from a hyperlink.
What am I doing wrong?
