Vista won't open my database :-(

U

uray

Tried to catch up on some work and Emailed my database home. I've done it
under XP with no problems in the past, but under Vista it won't work. Access
claims:

-----------------------------------
"This file is located outside your intranet or on a 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
location".
-----------------------------------

No option to allow is offered.

The problem is the file has already been copied to my local drive. It's
normal home location is of the form C:\username\database. I've tried
putting it in the "my documents" folder, but no help.

Using Access 2002 at home, 2003 at work and the database is in 2000 format.

So what's up?

I fixed it!

When I dbl-clicked the mdb file I was getting the window asking if I should
allow it or not. Although I was clicking "allow" I wasn't unchecking the
box that said "Always ask for this type of file". I finally unchecked that
box and now it works. Seems like it should have worked without unchecking
that box though.
