MS Access will not open a database on local share

Microsoft Access cannot open this file.
This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site. Microsoft Access will not open the file due to potential security problems.
To open the file, copy it to your computer or an accessible network location.

the file was located on a linux server (called internet-pc) using a samba share (called public) ie \\internet\public

To fix the problem we need to tell the Windows PC that the network share \\internet\public
is trusted. To do this we need to change an option in the internet explorer web browser.

Start Internet Explorer
click
Tools
Internet Options
Security Tab
Local Intranet icon
Sites button
Advanced button
key the following line into the add this Web site line
\\internet\public
click Add
click OK
click OK
click OK

Solution came from microsoft web site
