Access XP database from network drive

[Adrian]

Help, this problem is driving me mad. I've trawled Google for answers
and have tried them all, but I still get this annoying message when
trying to open a .mdb located on a network drive:

"The file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted
site.....(etc)"

I tried entering the IP address of the hosting machine into IE's
Security tab, but to no avail. Only Office XP users are affected - it
seems this cunning(?) piece of coding was not included in previous
versions.

Surely, it's not too much to ask to be able to do this?

All help VERY gratefully received!!

Thanks
Adrian

Are you attempting to oven this file in an IE session?
