Connection for Source DataConnection failed because the environment is not trusted.

I've seen this question asked on the forum before, but based on those answers I still could not get my form to work.

I am using LiveCycle to creat a PDF form which will allow people to choose an item from a drop-down box (Company Name) and have the PDF reference an Access database to populate a text field (Description).

I am getting the following error:

Connection for Source DataConnection failed because the environment is not trusted.

The Data Connection is set up as follows:

  • Get Data Description from:
    • OLEDB Database
  • Connection String Build:
    • Provider Tab
      • Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
    • Connection Tab
      • Use Data Source Name:
        • MS Access Database
      • Use Connection String Name:
        • Selecting my Access File
    • Advanced Tab
      • Network Settings is grayed out
    • Other
      • Access permissions is set to "Read"
    • Click OK
    • Record Source
      • I am choosing Table and selecting the table in the Database (there is only 1)

After the connection is built, I am linking the drop-down menu to the Company Name column and the Text Field to the Description column.

When I click Preview PDF in LiveCycle, it brings up the error.

I have worked on this for quite a while now and read many threads, but cannot seem to get this error to go away.

Any help would be very appreciated!!!!

Thanks!
