Network problem?

[Nancy]

Hi,

We recently reconfigured our small local network. My
computer was previously the server, but now another
computer serves this function. From my computer, trying
to open Access 2002 files that are stored on the server
brings up the following error message:
Microsoft Access cannot open this file.

This file is located outside your intranet or on an
untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open the file
due to potential security problems.

To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible
network location.
It does work to copy files to my local drive, but I don't
use my local drive for anything else, so I'd rather not
have to for this.

We have had no problems opening up files of any other kind.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Nancy,

Access 2002 uses Internet Explorer security zones for
working with files across a network. Search Access help
for the phrase 'security zones' for more info.
