Removing Macro Security Warning..arrrgg ghhh

Hi

Before anyone blasts me for posting a question that the solution clearly
appears in the help file, please read on.

I keep getting the Security Warning : Opening.. x database may not be safe,
because it could contain harmful code, etc. We all know the warning.

Help says : Go to Tools menu, Macro and click on Security. (Running Office
2003). One slight problem, I don't have the 'security' option as listed.
It's not a matter of being disabled, it's just not even on the menu.

(I would like to add things to the trusted sources also, but this also
requires the elusive 'security' option to appear)

I do remember when I first installed Office, I had 2 warnings coming up (the
current one and another one). One day I clicked ok/cancel (I can't remember
which as it was a while ago) and then only this continuous warning message
persists.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I would be most grateful.

TIA
Michelle

Last week I posted as follows, but no-one responded: " I have security level 'Medium' and expression blocking set. If I set security to 'Low', I get a dialog box which asks if I want to enable expression evaluation. Irrespective of whether I respond 'Yes' or 'No', the security level now shows as 'Low' and databases open thereafter without any warning dialogs. The only operational difference is that I'm prompted to restart Access if I...

I've been using Access 2003 databases for a while. Suddenly, yesterday, whenever my users open a database, they get a warning message saying something about "block unsafe expressions", and then, when they answer "Open", they get a screen stating that "Unsafe expressions are not blocked" - "Microsoft Jet 4 Service Pack 8 must be installed". Does anyone know why suddenly I need the service pack, and my database won't open without...

Since I have converted my Access97 application to Access2003, I am getting an warning while opening the Access Database. When Macro Security level set to Low, its working fine.

Is there a standard way to remove the warning that a C compiler might produce from the statement: if (a = b) {} I don't want to do: if ((a = b) != 0) {} Because my "a = b" is actually contained in a macro that might be used

One of my customers is running an Access 2003 application. They have the Macro Security Level set to Low. When the .mde app is executed directly from the C: drive on their server, they get into the application just fine. When they execute the app from a mapped network drive (a link to the app on the C: drive), they get get the Security Warning and have to click on Open to get into the application. I have seen this same app run at...

Hi I've seen details on bypassing macro security with a bat file but has any one incorporated this with Tony Toews FE Updater? If so, I'd appreciate some guidance. As both open the database I'm not sure how/if this will work. Thanks

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.
