help - cannot open the file

[associates]

Hi,

I was wondering if i could get some help here. I'm getting the following error message when trying to open MDB Access file.

Microsoft Access cannot open this file
This file is located outside your intranet or an untrusted site. ...

I did not get any problems like this before i upgraded my IE to IE-7 browser. I believe IE 7 has changed a bit of security setting there.

I can open up any apps(words, excel) without this error or problem apart from Access application. I then copied the Access file from my network drive onto my local machine - then it works fine.

I have been to IE-7 internet option tool to change the level of security especially the Local intranet and trusted site.
I have added in my Server IP address - 192.168.3.10 to Local Intranet. This doesn't help at all. I've run out ideas.

Note: this Access MDB file has already been on my server. I didnot get it from any emails. I got no problem with other PCs except for this PC i use.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you in advance

you need to create a folder in my documents or on your HD, I called mine MY Downloads and down load stuff to there. I had this (for want of a better word) problem when I upgraded to Vista recently, stopped me opening sample DB's from this site until I worked it out.

You also need full admin permisions on the folder, if you have'nt allready
