I am working on a customers site putting in a new system. They use Microsoft
Access XP on all their computers. When I hooked up the new system and added
it to the workgroup, we got this message when trying to access the database.

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 do to potential security problems.

To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible network location.

The user can open any document and work on them from the shared folder
except for the Access file.

Any ideas about what to check would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!!

Add the folder location to the Trusted Sites section in Internet Explorer (Internet Options - Security)

That didn't help me eventhough I've got that same issue. For some reason (or
patch or w/e) we've lost the ability to open/use remote .mdb's eventhough
I've messed with IE7's trusted sites bit till I'm blue in the face. Is there
a regedit that I can push to allow users to open remote .mdb's?
thanks,
