Microsoft Access cannot open this file.

I have a system with Win/XP Professional operating system and Office XP
Professional. I am connected to a local network with a shared server. A
Access database was created on another PC with Office 2003 PRO and stored on
the server. When I try to access that database, I get this error:
This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site.
Microsoft
Access will not open the file due to potential security problems.

To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible network
location.

How do I fix this problem?? Other files can be accessed from the server
with no problems.

Do you have rights to create new files, modify files and delete files in
the directory where the file is located?

URNNNT - The resolution has nothing to do with Access. In the Internet
Options of Internet Explorer, under the INTRANET icon, you must have the IP
address of your server. If someone has set this option in the past, you must
maintain the address, even if you have deleted OFFICE and reinstalled.
Better watch those users that think they are PC guru's.
