Symptoms

When you open a Microsoft Access web database in a SharePoint site, you receive the following warning message:

Identify the time zone setting in the SharePoint site to which the Access web database is published. To do this, follow these steps:
1. At the top of the SharePoint site, click the arrow next to Welcome <User name>, and then click My Settings.
2. On the User Information page, click My Regional Settings.
3. In the Follow Web Settings section of the Regional Settings page, make sure that the Always follow web settings check box is selected.
