    Problem opening file in php..

    What i am building is a script where i can upload excel documents and access documents to a server. This works file but on the display side when i click on an access file it does not ask me if i want to open this just asks me save as.

    I need it just to open when i click it.

    I though of using something like:

    Header('Content-type: application/x-msaccess');

    But when i put it on the page it was not working.

    Cheers,
    Adam

    If you are using one of the later versions of Access it limits remote access to these files, as in you have to save them locally to edit them.

    Its a security feature and i'm not certain you can get round it?
