RE: [flexcoders] How to load a .mdb from a flex application?

In general, you cannot launch arbitrary applications from Flex for the same reason that you cannot launch arbitrary applications from HTML: security.
 
If you need to execute server-side code, it needs to happen through a web server, such as .Net, PHP, CF, or any J2EE server. If you need to execute client-side code, you need to create an ActiveX control or find some other way to get the browser to execute the code for you.

Hi,
 
I guess, you can try to open .mdb file using getURL(..), user would be prompted to save or open the file. File would be opened with default application to open .mdb, which is MS Access if someone has not changed it to Open Office :)

try this:
 
getURL("my.mdb", "_blank");

Do you mean how to do you connect Flex to an access database ?!?   Flex doesn't
connect directly to a database; you would have some middleware perform your database
integration (eg j2EE code, or some C# code exposed as a web service) and them use
one of the Flex Data Service APIs (eg RemoteObject or WebService tag) to invoke
methods on your middleware that are responsible for interrogating your database.
