I have two computers in an office and want to share an Access database.
This
database is for creating orders, invoicing, etc. and is critical to my
work.
I would like two computers to use the same database and have the work done
on
either computer reflected in the database. I created a shortcut on the
second
computer that targeted the Access application on the main computer.
However,
when I click the shortcut, I get the following error message:
“Microsoft Access cannot open this file. This file is located outside
your
intranet or on an untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open this file
due to potential security problems. To open the file, copy it to your
machine
or an accessible network location.”
I looked at Microsoft Knowledge Base Article ID 303650 regarding this
message. In this article it says to add the *.domain.com or an IP address
range to the accepted sites. I know how to get to the place to do this,
but
don’t know what the *.domain.com or the IP address range is for either
computer is. How do I find this information?
Also, do I need the domain name and/or IP address range for each computer?
I have a high-speed Internet connection, use Windows XP, and have
Microsoft
Office Professional 2002 installed.
