MS-ACCESS protocol link

I noticed while digging around that when installing MS Access it registers an MS-ACCESS URI. I found that you could use that to open accdb files. I was wondering if you could also use that to open accdr files?



Office URI Schemes



I found this link but it doesn't mention anything about accdr files and when I try using it for an accdr it tells me that "Microsoft Access cannot open this type of file. The file was converted to runtime mode."



Really the end goal is that we are making a website that has all of the access databases from our network drive that we use. I know you cannot link to a file directly without Chrome or Firefox blocking it. That being said this seems to get around that by passing the file path to access directly. As long as we add the file path to the list of trusted sites it should work.
