Cannot open 2007 Publisher file.

[Bryan Hughes]

I have the publisher file that is giving me the following message whenever I
open it.

"Publisher has detected a problem in the file your are trying to open. If
you are certain that this file came from a trusted source and does not
contain harmful information, click OK. If you recevied this file from
another machine or person and are not sure the contents are safe, click
Cancel."

If I click OK the file opens and nothings is wrong with it. If I save it
with a different name it still gives the same message.

This file was created on my network and was fine during creation. The only
difference since the last time it was open is that we have upgraded our file
server to a new machine. Other publisher files in the same folder and
created at the same time are fine.

Publisher does not give the same options to add Trusted locations, as in
office 2007 and word 2007.

What is the problem?

Might take a registry fix

Mary,

Yes, this key was already enabled on my machine and I add it to the machines
that were having problems. I need to know why it is happening and how to
fix it. I know it is not a conflict between verison 2003/2007, because
other then a few added functions the versions are the same (no .pubx).

It was created in Pub 2007 and it is trying to be open in 2007 on the same
machine it was created on. The only difference is were it is being stored
now (all files were moved to a new file server).

The old one was running Win Serv 2003 R2 std. The new machine is running Win
2003 x64 R2 std. This should not make a difference since the file is being
stored and not opened on the file server.

I have not seen this problem before, could one of the latest Office 2007/Pub
2007 security updates be causing the problem?
