Hi
I get the following error when trying to download and open a Microsoft
Access Database File 2003 from Windows Live SkyDrive."Microsoft Access cannot
open this file. The file is located outside your intranet or an untrusted
sight. 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 use Windows Vista Basic with Explorer 8.I also get the error on
another seperate internet connection. Can you tell me how to get round this
error and explain the error in full. I can however download and open
Microsoft Excell 2003. Many thanks

Well, have you tried saving the file to your HDD as the prompt suggests &
then opening it in Access?
