Rocky, This explains it I think 9/17/2005 From PC Mag Sept 2005 "Can't open file because file is located outside of your intranet ....." XP SP2 marks files as having come from a non secure site, in most cases right clicking on the file and selecting properties, if the secure flag is set, you will see a button labeled unblock at the bottom of the page, click this and you should be home. Sometimes this option may not work, saving the file to a non ntfs format and then copying it back may also fix the problem. Note: the Unblock button does not appear on a file that is not marked. Key Words MDB (or file) Located outside of your internet .....Cannot open Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rocky Smolin - Beach Access Software" <bchacc at san.rr.com> To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 4:16 PM Subject: [AccessD] Microsoft Access Cannot Open This File Dear List: I was at a client site today - his house actually. He was trying to run my software - an mde - but I don't think that matters - and he gets this message when the program opens: 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 <http://www.experts-exchange.com/Databases/Q_21770111.html#>security problems. To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible network location." He's running a stand-alone box, windows XP. Access XP with SP3. I lowered all the security settings on his IE to their lowest setting. No soap. Can't find a solution on the web. Anybody know how to get around this one?
