I am a real estate agent in Colorado and have access to the county
records over the internet.  I can download the database to my laptop
in a zip file, unzip the file and open with Microsoft Access. 
Unfortunately the last couple of months I have not been able to open
this file.  I keep receiving a window stating this problem.

Microsoft Access cannot open this file.  This file is located outside
your intranet or on an untrusted site.  Access will not open the file
due to potential security problems.  To open the file, copy it to your
machine or an accessible network location.  My question is, What does
this all mean?  I was able to open this before but now am unable, any
solutions?

Hello bubbles1234wally,

It appears likely that instead of downloading the file as you once may
have done, you are now downloading a link to it which does not
accomplish your needs.

Try RIGHT clicking the link to download and choose "save as". Then
select an easy to find place on your computer, such as the desktop,
and try to open the saved file.

If this works, as I suspect it might, do let me know and I will post
as the answer. If it does not, it is likely that the permissions to
access these files have been changed.

Let us know the results so that myself or another reasearcher may be
able to help further if this is not successful.

Best,
