I my database on a server and my front-end on the
workstations. When I try to link the front-end the tables
in the database on the server I get the following
error. "The file is located outside your intranet or an
untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open the file
due to potential security problem." How do I get around or
correct this?
 
Are your workstations on a different domain that the server? If so, then a
'trust' has to be set up between your domain and the server's domain. If you
are a member of the same domain, then it is a permissions problem.

Are you trying to link via \\servername..... or are you linking via a mapped
drive letter such as E:\nameofbackenddatabase.

Also, the backend should not be too many levels down on the server. It is
recommended that the database backend reside at the root level of the drive
or at no more than one folder level.
