How to add a hyperlink on a intranet to open an access database

Using a unc path with file: in front of the unc path should do it.
e.g. File://Servername/ShareName/Folder/../something.mdb

You can even use the above method to point to a shortcut.
Noting that shortcuts end in .lnk (that's a L not a capital i)
e.g. File://Servername/ShareName/Folder/ShortcutToDatabase.lnk

That way you can specify the link to run the 2003 or 2007 version of access and to open in shared mode – so no locked out users.

The biggest issue is probably that spaces might need to be %20 instead .
