Networking

[muhsin]

I'm hoping that someone can help me with this.

I have 5 computers on a network and have designed a form which needs to be accessible by every computer on the network. When I do try to open the form from a different computer other than the one it was created on, I get a security warning message that Microsoft Access will not open the file due to security reasons as the computer I am accessing is not a trusted source or not part of my intranet. I've tried everything. Can someone please help?

Where is the MDB located? On a common network server, or on a shared PC?

It's located on a shared PC.

Hi FoFo, I'm online now, so it would be great if you can assist me while online! Much appreciated!

Sound like it is an issue with the network/sharing setup on the PC rather than an Access issue.

This may be a silly question, but is Access installed on all five computers?

are you trying to open the database with with access 2003. M$ changed the security model with this release and to restore the security to a lower level as is A97/A2000 then you have to set the macro security to low, and set the user security level in the registry to 1. (HKEY_CURRENT-USER]\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security]"Level"=Dword:000000001

Have you upgraded to Internet Explorer 7 recently?

This is the experience I had....
