Problems with opening a file

[yaro137@googlemail.com]

There is a Access database on one of the computers in our network.
It's in a shared folder so
all 5 of our PC's can access it. We have no server. All worked fine
till recently when we can't
open that file anymore. It happened on all of the comuters at once.
When clicking on it some
sort of warning pops up saying that the file is on the Internet and
it's not safe to open it because
of an unknown publisher. When I click to open it anyway Access starts
but it says it couldn't
open the file as it is outside our local intranet and cannot be opened
for security reasons.
I disabled our Norton firewall and windows firewall is off but it
didn't make any difference.
Any idea what's going on?

Try repairing the *.mdb file. Go into Access, Tools, DataBase Utilities and
Repair.
