Recently our company upgraded our networks. I am not sure of the networking
architecture. however, each time i open my file (whose location is on
server), iget 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 the file due to potential security problems.

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

Kindly advise how to access the file.

Regards
Abhilash

Hi Abhi

Take a look at these KB articles:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303650
and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815141

Check what the full name is of the file you are trying to open.  My guess is
that it's using a FQDN, such as:

    \\servername.domain.com\sharename\somefolder\yourdb.mdb

If your computer is a member of domain.com, then you could try changing it
to:

    \\servername\sharename\somefolder\yourdb.mdb

If not, or if this is outside your control, try adding domain.com to your
list of local intranet or trusted sites, as detailed in the articles.
