When I try to setup a network drive and folder as a Trusted Location,
I get this error message: "The path you have entered cannot be used as
a Trusted Location for security reasons." Why can't I choose for
myself what paths I want to trust?

I notice a checkbox for allowing network drives. Checking it doesn't
seem to do anything. Perhaps this is a bug in Access 2007. I can't
figure out any way to get around it. It will not let me set my
network drive as a trusted location; either the drive or any folder on
the drive. It doesn't seem to be a security issue per se... I have
read/write rights to that drive. Would any of you MVP's like to
comment?

You've to use \\servername\name_for_shared_resource

i.e. \\myserver\c$

This will work,

It does not work when using an IP Address for a server, or in my case a VPN, so how can I change the security settings to allow \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\share\ ?

If I'm recalling correctly, there's a separate setting that allows
you to do that, and I seem to recall that the error message you get
in your situation points you in the right direction by telling you
what you have to change to make it work.
