Stik62 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have recently installed MSO 2007 on a new PC and can not open a database file created with 2003 that resides on a remote network across an IPsec VPN. I have tried to change the security setting for trusted locations to include the network location but it keeps telling me I can use that location. 2003 worked fine with out this new "Trusted Location" thing. I could really use some help with getting this figured out. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuffsaid Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Access 2007 can't open Access 2003 or below files. You need to convert first.http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA100484061033.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stik62 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 I read the link but I can open the database as long as it resides on the local computer and appears to work fine as long as I have it set for Access 2003 format. The link still doesnt explain why i cant set a trusted location across a network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuffsaid Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 So you have converted it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stik62 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 If I did it was not intentional. I did not specifically convert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuffsaid Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Try converting it and post your results.Are you using Vista? Do you have UAC disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stik62 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 We are running XP pro. No vista. If I convert my understanding is that all users will need to upgrade to 2007? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is a business environment? Do you have write / modify permissions to the remote network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
