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.

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?

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)

Hi everyone, Just a little issue that I've come across in Python where I'd be interested to read the thoughts and opinions of the great thinkers and programmers who frequent this newsgroup.

Roughly speaking, due in part to Python's dynamic nature its better to...

From reading this forum, it is my understanding that C++ doesn't require the compiler to keep code that does not manifest itself in any way to the user. For example, in the following: { for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i){ std::cout << i << std::endl; for(int j = 0; j < 0x7fffffff; ++j){} } }

I have a split Access 2003 database. I have signed the database with a Code Signing Certificate from Small Business Server. This works fine and users can have Access macro security on high or medium and do not get prompted at startup. The problem comes because there are two of us modifying the code. Whenever either one of us changes the code, one of us must resign both the front and back end of the database. If we forget to sign both, we...
