Can't open Access files on server

[Nicolas Macarez]

Hi You All,
My issue is as follows :
I am working on a Windows XP Pro Desktop with Microsoft Access 2000
installed. Whenever I try to open an MDB file located on a remote Windows
2000 Server machine, I am denied the access to the file and it says
(translation from French):

BEGINNING OF THE MESSAGE >>
Microsoft Access can't open this file.
It is located outside of your intranet or on an unsafe site. Microsoft won't
open this file because of probable security issues.
To open this file, make a copy of it on your computer or on a reachable
place on the network.
Same issue from a box w/ Access 2002 installed.
Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,
Nicolas
