Can't open in MS Access database created by Frontpage 2003

P

I just upgraded from Frontpage 2002 to Frontpage 2003 today. Now, when I want to open Access databases created by the Form Wizard, it shows me an error "MS Access can't open this file. This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site. MS Access will not open the file due to potential security problem".

How do I get out of this? I want to be able to look at the database.

Export it to your local machine. Open and work with it. Then import it back
to the web site.

Thanks for your reply

Is there any other way to do this? With Frontpage 2002, I used to be able to just click on the database and access it. Can't understand why Frontpage wants to add another step to the process

I tried publishing the website to the desktop and work on the desktop version. I guess I can do this and then when I am done working on the database, publish the desktop version to the web.

I certainly understand your frsutration. I'm not sure why this was changed,
but I'm sure it has something to do with the Microsoft Trustworthy Computing
Initiative. Other than that, you just have to deal with it, I'm afraid.
