Microsoft Access cannot open this file

[jammyp]

Hi,
I am trying to open an access database (Access2002) from my computer ( C:\test\ )
and I receive the error :
Microsoft Access cannot open this file.
This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site.

how can I fix this problem ?

regards,
Jam

hi, the bizarre thing is, if I copy the database to a network drive it then works !

so C:\test ( my local computer) doesn't work
S:\test ( a server ) works !.

Hi, I have fixed this..
If I right click the MDB there is a button to unblock !
click that and it will work !

thank you anyway.

I infer that you were on MS Windows XP with Service Pack 2. That SP introduced some security issues that locked down things not previously locked down. I can't say I'm surprised that it barfed on you. MS WinXP SP2 does that to a lot of people. Consider yourself as, if not a majority, then at least in a very large minority.
