Re: security problem with ms-access?

In my "work" situation, all workstations have the frontend on their
machines and all is fine. The problem arises when I am on my home machine
and receive an '.mdb' file in my email or download from the internet
(various sample db's from Access sites) and then try to open it--that's when
I get the same annoying message:

"Microsoft Access cannot open this file.

This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site.

Microsoft Access will not open this file due to potential security problems.



To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible network
location."

I can't quite tell if this is an Internet 'thing' or an Access 'thing', but
I have tried "copying the various db's to my "machine or to an accessible
network location" which is an exercise in futility-it doesn't work. I tried
going into IE6's security tab, but can find a solution there.

Does anyone have some ideas to help "novak" and me.

thx...

hi list,

since a couple of weeks we face a special "security" problem. neraly
every ms-access database that is located on our net-drives cannot be
opened.

when clicking the document's icon, first, the warning message arises
"open document - security message" - "Really open *.mdb ....?",
second, when clicking "start" ms-access starts, but the mdb-file
cannot be opened. message: "ms-access could not open the file ... The
file is located outside the intranet or on a website that is
considered to be insecure. ms-access therefore will not open the
document because of possible security problems" (translation from the
german dialogs - somediffeences to the original english dailog can be
assumed)

when copying the file to a local hard disk, it works again. butthat's
not the idea of an intra-enterprise database, is it?

any ideas how to come over that ????

thanx in advance

norbert

ps. some of these mdb-files are replicated ...
