File opening problem

[Guest]

I have a database that is coming up with this error when I try to open it.
The database is in a shared folder on a computer in a workgroup environment.

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.

The strange thing is that the file it is in is accessible.

Any ideas on how to clear this up would be helpful.

You need to add the server name to the Intranet zone in the Options in IE.
Use \\servername\path
