MDE won't execute from network folder?

[NXMold]

I have a front end MDE file and back end MDB on a network share. I am using the access 2000 runtime to make this available to ~40 users. This has been working fine so far.

I just ran into two computers that won't open the file after installing the runtime, I get a null result when clicking on the shortcut. Nothing happens. If I copy the front end file locally, it works fine (accessing backend on network). I have write permissions in the network folder.

This seems like a windows security issue of some sort? I do not use the built in access security. What could be preventing the file from executing in the network folder?

Try:

in Internet Explorer go to Tools -> Options -> Security -> Local Intranet -> Sites.

Untick "Automatically detect intranet" and tick the three boxes beneath this.

This has fixed it for us on several occasions.
