Microsoft Access cannot open file

J

I am trying to open an access database through a VPN connection and am
getting the following error message:
Microsoft Access cannot open this file. This file is located outside your
intranet or on an untrusted site.
I could open it before I upgraded to internet explorer 6.

Create a Trusted Location (see Access help file) and try again.

If this VPN connection is via a LAN it will likely be very slow and
very prone to corruptions.
