Can't open shared access database with double click from explorer.

Anthony Wieser

While trying to diagnose Access 2007 corrupting Access 2000 databases, I've
come across a situation where if I try to double click an MDB file on a
shared network drive, nothing happens. Access doesn't start (either with
access 2000 or access 2007).

However, if I wait til I get the "Open File - Security Warning" on one
machine, then double click it on the other, then I can open it on both
machines.

In addition, I can always open it from the open menu in access.

Obviously something to do with the open file warning is going on here. Is
there any way to set the registry to mark a particular location on my
network as safe from these warnings?

Security warnings are PC-based. The individual PCs need to have their
security setting changed.
