Mr. Phil:
1.) Reinstall sp 8 if you haven't already from a clean boot.
2.) Blocking unsafe expressions really is recommended since VBA and DAO can
be instantiated from many other places outside access and functions like
Kill can have disasterous results.
3.) Even when you've done all the above, unless your Security settings in
the Tools->Macros-> Security Settings is set to low, A2K3 will still prompt
you with a one time warning about potential security issues when opening ANY
db whether it contains VB code or not. The only way around that is to
create a self signed digital certificate and add that to all your dbs and
indicate when opening a db the first time that you "trust" yourself and your
own certificate.

I've installed SP8. Why does ACCW2K3 insist on reminding me, upon
attempting to open an MDB: 1: that unsafe expressions are not blocked
(I don't care; this is an internal protected app);
2: that when I say "no", a hugo largo window pops up, advising me that
I have to install SP8 to block unsafe expressions (I've already a)
installed SP8 and b) told Access that I don't want to block them; and
3: of a final security warning that restates what the previous two
windows warned about, and gives me one final chance to abort (if I'm
come this far, you're damn right I want to open the file!!)?
This is preposterous. Why all the hoo-hah about SP8 when I've already
installed it? Explanations and a fix, please.
