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

Hi,

I've had the same experience. Mailed an .adp-file to a customer. He got the
described errormessage. Then I zipped the file and sent it to him. He
unpacked and got the same errormessage.
Then I burned it on a CD and mailed it. He copied it onto his PC. It worked
fine. All three files are from the same .adp-file which had not been opened
between the various 'shipments'

I think it is some misunderstood safety precaution - but I cannot gather if
it is the mailsystem, Windows or Access.

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
