Re: MDB made on one pc to be used on another.

The part of the message about "file... located ..." suggests that when they
try to use what you sent, it tries to find a file that is NOT what you sent.

Is there a chance you sent a shortcut that points to the file on YOUR
computer?

Is there a chance you sent a front-end, which links to back-end tables
located on YOUR computer?

I have this real problem!

A friend needs a database with a lot of addresses etc in and gave me their
information in an Excel work***.

I imported the data and made an Access database here at home, editing it
as
I went along. It works fine here (Access 2003 and set to default to make a
database in 2002-3).

I emailed it to them and they saved the attachment in their own database
directory, but when they try to open it they get the message:

'This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site.
Microsoft Access will not open the file due to potential security
problems.'

I tried a work around by uploading the file to my website and getting them
to download it from there after telling them to:

1.In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
2.On the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then click Sites.
3.Click Advanced, and then type: (my IP address was here) in the Add this
Web site to
the zone box.
4.Click Add, click OK, click OK, and then click OK again to close the
Internet Options dialog box.
5.Restart the computer.

Needless to say it still doesn't work.

How can I make a database made on my pc open on another person's pc?

Thanks in advance for any help?

Noel
