Can’t use database within Workgroup with Windows XP clients
I am in charge of 10 computers and a server, I have them all on a workgroup and i can only use the database application installed on the server on the older computers. I try to use the same program on win xp but it says that the program is outside of the local intranet or on a untrusted source so access will not open the file. I don't want to change anything unneccessarily but i'm desperate!

Answer Wiki:
Try adding the address to the local intranet: In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options. On the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then click Sites. Click Advanced, and then type: *.domain.com or an IP address range (for example, 157.54.100-200.*) in the Add this Web site to the zone box, where domain.com is your company and top-level domain names. Click Add, click OK, click OK, and then click OK again to close the Internet Options dialog box. Restart the computer. This is a suggested workaround in the following Microsoft support article: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303650">Intranet site is identified as an Internet site when you use an FQDN or an IP address</a>

Which program are you talking about? Is it perhaps a program that includes a browser in it? Are you able to access these intranet pages from IE/Firefox?
