Error message

[Arima53]

I have two computers in an office and want to share an Access database
created for me by someone else. The person died and I can't ask this
question. When I put a shortcut to the database in the first computer on the
second computer and click it, I get the following message: Microsoft Access
cannot open this file. This file is located outside your intranet or on an
untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open this file due to potential
security problems. To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible
network location.

How do I determine if the designer made the application to work over an
intranet? How do I enable the two computers to use the same database
application whether on an intranet or not? Below is the error message.

I looked at Microsoft Knowlege Base and Article ID 303650 but don't know how
to do what is suggested. Under "Users" it says to ad the *.domain.com or an
IP address range to the accepted sites. I know how to get there, but don't
know what the *.domain.com or the IP address range is. How do I find these?

Article 810582 said: To view data, or to edit data in a database file, you
can use either data access pages or Actie Server Pages.

This does not sound like an Access problem. Because Access runs code, it is
possi ble for the code to carry out undesirable (dangerous) actions. It
sounds like your Operating System is preventing the database from being run
remotely.
