"Microsoft Access cannot open this file"

Added a new computer to the network (OS is Vista). I have the tables residing
on a server. When I tried to open a link table from the new computer, I am
getting this message: "The file is located outside your intranet or on an
untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open the file due to potential
security problem." I have 9 other computers running XP with no problems.

and Access will open or connect to the db file on your lan without that
security warning.
