Cannot open shared access database from vista

[Joseph Tohme]

I have an MS Access database hosted on a Windows Server 2003 (standard
edition) and when I try to access the database from Vista (Business edition)
the database won't open and nothing happens. This database can be accessed
from the other Windows XP computers on the network. However, when ALL users
exit the database I am able to access the database from Vista.

Well, I have searched the net and figured the solution myself:

Method 1: Open Access and then browse to open the database.

Method 2: Open 'Control Panel' - 'Internet Options' - ' Security' - click
'Trusted Sites' - click 'Sites' button - add the network IP or FQDN of the
network server hosting the database (example: \\192.168.250.4) after removing
the check mark 'Require server verification..' Then on the 'Security level
for this zone', move the slider to 'Low'.
