A2003 - "Code May be Harmful" message

Is is possible to turn this message off? It currently pops up every time
my app is opened.

Using XP Pro if that's relevant.

Thanks.

re: A2003 - "Code May be Harmful" message

In Access 2003, it is *really* annoying to be told your database is unsafe
every time you open it. Lower your macro security setting:
Tools | Macro | Security | Low

If you do not see that menu option, right-click the toolbar area, customize,
and reset the Menu Bar. For more information, see:

Thanks Allen, is it a "per application" or "per PC" feature? Do I have to
go around all users PCs to set this?

re: A2003 - "Code May be Harmful" message

Per PC. Yes.

Really annoying, isn't it?

In combination with the JET warnings you can end up having to choose the
non-default answer to 3 complex dialogs, where is it not even obvious where
the question is that you are answering, *every* time you want to open one of
your own databases, unless you are willing to do something that Microsoft
explicitly says is "not recommended".

I wonder if this was done to intentionally damage Access?

Either that or just sheer thoughtlessness, why not just go ahead and
stick a warning on every exe file you click on... oh hang on, they did
that to Win 2003 server, at least on files on a network drive.

I thought the whole point of a computer was to run programs, sheesh what
would GM say now if Microsoft built cars? Warning, you are about to
engage first gear, this may make the car go forwards and hit something,
are you sure?

* Stay in neutral (recommended)
* Turn engine off (really recommended)
* Select first gear (not recommended)
* select reverse (not recommended)

Someone just showed me that one today in Win 2003 Terminal Server. Reckon they
really, really want me to sign my code.
