Can't edit recently created Microsoft Access Database file

Question

I just downloaded Microsoft Access and created a database file. But when I try to open it I get a security message and after clicking on "open" I get nothing, all I can do is print the file but not edit it or anything else.

Answer 2

@Henrique Marques ,

Does this issue occur with all database file?

• Please create a new database file and save to other location to check this issue.
• It's recommended to go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Trusted Locations > Add new location, add the path of database as a trusted location.
• You may also go to Control Panel > Program Files, find and right click the Access, choose Change, perform a online repair for it.

Besides, have you split the database?
If so, I suggest you refer to the similar thread "Split MS Access database - can't open backend - potential security concern".
