i am trying to add a trusted location. i browse to:
\\Nasbackup\urbncom\fpweb\Query DBs , check subfolders also trusted. then i
get error: "The remote or network path you have entered is not allowed by
your current security settings."
How do i adjust security seetings to allow this folder?

thanks.

I found it!  Down at the bottom of the Trust Center Trusted Locations screen
is a check box to "Allow Trusted Locations on my network (not recommended)"
that you need to check.  I have trouble believing that locations on your own
network are blocked by default in Office 2007 and Microsoft recommended that
you do not trust them.  Of all the nerve!

Actually, given that folders on your own hard drive are not trusted by
default, it is no surprise that those on your LAN also are not.
