Open file on Lan

G

Gerrym

While trying to open a file I just created 1 hour earlier
on our LAN I now get a message that the file is outside my
Internet or on an untrusted site and MS Access will not
open it for security precautions. Why is this as it is
just a drive\folder on our LAN

Many Thanks, drive was mapped using IP address, changed to
using server/share and all is well.
