Microsoft Access cannot open this file

[Nick]

I have a remote user that connects to a server via Terminal Services. Once
logged in and the desktop is loaded, the users profile maps a network drive
and a shortcut on the desktop points to an Access 2002 Db located in the
mapped drive directory structure. In turn, the Db checks password
credentials listed in a .MDW file located in the same file structure as the
Db. Each time the user tries to open this file the user gets a error message
stating that "The file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted
site. Microsoft access will not open the file due to potential security
problems". If I log in to the server and use the users Db credentials I have
no problems. I realise the problem could be profile based but I have checked
the Internet Eplorer settings and I cannot spot any differences between the
users and my own. Has anybody got any ideas?

Thanks
Nick

This sounds like it has something to do with your internet security
settings. Open an Internet browser and check the security settings.

Thanks for your swift reply. I have solved the problem by adding an entry
using the notation file://server_ip, into the users Internet browser
settings, Security tab, Trusted sites.
