Viewing Data Access Pages (DAP) - Internet Explorer Protecting Your Security

[Edlueze]

I am developing some Data Access Pages (DAP) using Microsoft Access
2003 on Microsoft Windows XP.

When I try to open these pages (located on my C: drive), the display of
the data access page is blocked and I receive the following error
message in the Information Bar in Microsoft Internet Explorer:

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this
site from showing certain content. Click here for options."

I can then click on the Information Bar to Allow Blocked Content, and
everything works just fine - but it gets a little annoying after a
while. Any idea how to stop this happening when I try and deploy these
data access pages for my users?

Thanks for the tips! HTA's were new to me and quite interesting
to read about.
As a standard practice, I disable the HTA file assocation on
every workstation I sit down at, because it's an excellent way
for hackers to do nasty things to your computer. I also disable
the default VBS associations (though leaving WSH available for
calling explicitly). There have been viruses/worms distributed as HTAs, just as there have been VBS viruses/worms, and that's why I disable it.

It's a Microsoft-only technology and works only in IE, which is
naither reason not to use it, since it hardwires your app to the
most insecure and poorly designed web browser available

anywhere.
If you want expert advice about something from someone who knows
nothing about it and who has never used it and therefore MUST
denigrate it, then David is your expert of choice.

Well, since you know all things, why don't you point out exactly
which parts of what I said are incorrect.

Please provide documentation.

Peronslly, I don't use the same technologies that hackers use to
compromise people's systems. My reason for that is that I don't
want
people mistaking my work for a virus or worm.

You obviously don't care about that.

But you haven't demonstrated that anything I"ve said about HTSs is
wrong.
