Can't Open Downloaded Database

I teach office classes online and since I downloaded service pack 2 I am
unable to open the students access databases that I have saved to my desktop.
It tells me that Access can not open the database, it is located on a
intranet or an untrusted site, to open the file cpy it to your machine.
Well, it is copied to my desktop, yet still gives me the same error message.
I have had no problems with this for the last four semester, so I am assuming
it has something to do with the new service pack installation. Any
suggestions?
 
I figureed it out, but for anyone else who may have this problem. If you
right click on the database and go to properties. There is a section at the
bottom (with archieve and read only) that says this was sent from another
person and gives you the option to unblock. Once you click on the unblock
button you are able to open the database.

Thanks!
