I understand that when using Access 2003, the security settings prevent
the VBA code from running correctly and need to be set to the Low
setting. My question is: Can this be done automatically using VBA, in
other words, when my DB opens can it check to see if running Access 2003
and if so then change the macro security settings to low?

What makes you think that? Have you tired running code? I work for a
corporation whose policy forces macro security to the "medium" setting and
my code runs just fine.

The correct way to get around these warnings is to digitally sign your
app with a VBA Certificate. Plenty of info about that in the Help
file.

Whenever I open a DB in 2003 I get the security warning box. How do I
disable that screen?
The Access help suggests.....
Change the security level for macro virus protection by
On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Security.
Click the Security Level tab, and then select the security level you
want to use.
However there is no Security option under the Macro option under

I've built all of my apps in Access 97, but I think it's time I moved
to some newer technology (a little late to the web app game...) so I'm
considering an upgrade. Any reason not to go straight to 2003 and
skip 2000/2002? Will Access 2003 create issues for clients that are
still running Win98/2000? What else do I need to consider?
Any guidance would be helpful
thanks-

I have to say, from a practical standpoint I'm not all that impressed
with the security built into Office 2K3. I'm a small-scale developer
building Access apps for a few non-profits locally; I find that in
order for me to build and deliver an app that will run without a bunch
of scary nag screens, I have to buy a digital certificate from Thawte
or somebody for a hundred and a half per year or so...otherwise, they

Hello All,
I have a major application for quoting and invoicing that is written in
Access 97 (both front and back ends). I have a user base of over 300

the access 97 runtime scripts from Sagekey software. The main problems I've

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

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,...
