Re: Access 2003 security warnings

Hello,
One client, running Access 2003, has noted that every time my
database starts, she gets a "this file may not be safe..." message.
My few other clients, running both 2002 and 2003 have had no such
problem. The program was developed in Access 2002.
Short of buying a digital signature for $431/year (ouch--I am a very
small operation), what can I do to help her. Access 2002 seems not
to have a macro security level like Excel (at least I can't find
it)--maybe it's in 2003. Even if so, I am reluctant to tell her to
set it on low.

Why? The macro security first appeared in Access in 2003, so you won't find
it in 2002. I would tell her to set the macro security to low. It's no
more dangerous than running the mdb in 2002. When was the last time you
heard of malicious code being run in a mdb?
