Following this forum I solved the same problem of the jet4 dll, but then I hit the same: "This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site. <application name> will not open the file due to potential security problems. To open the file, copy it to your machine or an accessible network location."  
... which I think I solved installing last Internet explorer via winetricks following same approach as for jet 4.
(Note that I manage to do it in CrossOver8, but I guess is the same for Wine.)

The idea from my solution came from reading this post http://chir.ag/tech/?23 and some other suggesting to add new trusted zones via Internet Explorer, which I did not need to do, as after installing Explorer, it was already able to open the files.

I admit the solution is a bit dirty, because running explorer Inside Linux is like leaving home every morning with the backpack full of stones, but it is also not very clean running Office inside Linux. I guess we do not have other option, as Open Office is very good for Word processing and spread-sheet but still not able to deal with MDB access files.
