Answer 1

It is a external list
Please firstly make sure you have installed Assess 2010 properly.
And please check if the issue occured in all lists or just one list.
Click File menu after you open the Access, you will see Open. There will open a windows, in the file type dropdownlist(the default value is "All Files(*.*)"), you can select "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation"

The problem stems from having done a custom installation of Office Professional Plus 2010 and only installing Access.
If you are doing a custom installation, you must expand Office Tools and Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support. Under Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support, there is another Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support. Set this to Run from My Computer,
and the Open with Access button will work.
