Access Security being a pain in the...

[workmad3]

Ok, I'm setting up a new frontend for my DB, as it needs to give some different forms etc to a different person using it. I want to link a couple of the tables that are needed, and I get the message 'blah can't open the file. It is either located outside your local intranet or on an untrustworthy site.. blah blah blah.... won't open file because of possible security issues'

This file is located on a mapped network drive on the local network, and it used to open just fine.... any ideas what has happened and how I can turn off this 'feature'?

Doesn't sound like Access Security . More like Network or AV software

Try this:

On your internet,

tools
internet options
security tab
select Local intranet
click on sites
click advanced
add your network site

FINALLY

Thanks Jacob you put that, and it finally clicked as to what I needed to do. Having just read about 50 different sites and none of what they suggested working, I was getting to the point of either going insane(very difficult, I think I'm already borderline anyway, if not already there), or setting fire to the computer and throwing on effigies of the MS logo.

Working now though maybe now I can get some work done
