security warning question

[soljshavitz]

I recently converted a A2000 Database to an A2003. When I launch the
app I get this message: "This file may not be safe if it contains code
that was intended to harm your computer." The database runs fine
otherwise. I have no macros, not even ones converted to VB. I have no
modules and have sifted through the code, which is very
straightforward and a relatively simple database, and I can find no
questionable code. Is there a way of turning off this warning when the
user opens the app?

Thanks,
Solomon Shavitz

Unlike Word and Excel, Access 2003 gives you this warning 100% of the time,
not just when code and macros are actually present. You can go to Tools -
Macros - Security and change the setting to Low to get rid of the message.

I set the macro security level to 'low', but it won't keep it set
there. When I re-open the database, it reverts back to 'medium'.

Hmm, are you perhaps on a network domain where they are enforcing such thing
with a group policy? In that case there is nothing you can do about it.

Perhaps this is the case, but when the database was originally written
by me a couple of weeks ago the error message did not appear. The
situation does not effect any functionality of the database but the
message annoys the users. Is there a way to place code in the startup
form to suppress the message?

Note that if we are talking about the same message it is an ACCESS setting
that controls the message, not a setting in your MDB file. In other words
when the message is turned off on one PC that user never sees the message
regardless of the file they open and if it is enabled on another PC that
user would see the warning when opening ALL files, not just certain files.
