I have files stored on a 'network storage device'. I have been accessing
them and updating them for months; however, since installing IE7, I get a
message from MS saying 'ms access cannot open this file. It is located
outside your intranet or on an untrusted site. Security problem.' If I
move the file to drive C then access will open it. I am sure this has
something to do with the installation of IE7. Please let me know what I can
do to fix the problem! Thanks!

You need to add the computer to the "Trusted Sites" in IE. Click Tools - INternet Options - Security, then click the
Trusted Sites icon, then click Sites ... add the full network address to the listing.

Not exactly sure what you mean by adding the full network address. When I
go into My Computer, the drive in question is listed as "flash on
'Lkg0febff'" or "flash on 'LkgOfebff'". and also as drive J. The entire
computer is known as 'danslaptop'. Exactly what should be added to the
trusted sites area as you indicated? Thanks for your quick response4! I
have been on the mend as I had knee replacement surgery 5 weeks ago so have
been a little slow in responding to your first response. Thanks again!
