Macro Security Access 2003

  • Hi

    I've recently upgraded to Access 2003. 

    Does anybody know a way to turn off the annoying macro security feature at startup.  I can do it on a single machine by going into TOOLS, MACRO and setting the security level to low.  However, I have a widely distributed front end (SQL Server back end) and it wouldn't be convenient to go around every machine.

    I need some code I can write in (if possible) to do this for me - or, perhaps, somebody knows the best way to fix this problem.

    Thanks

    Paul

  • Make a xxx.reg file and copy this record:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines]

    "SandBoxMode"=dword:00000002

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security]

    "Level"=dword:00000001

    2x click on reg file update registri entry and problem with security is solved.

     

  • Thanks Dornig

    This works a treat....

    The only small fly in the ointment is that Microsoft Spyware tries to stop it and asks whether to Accept or Abort Registry modification.

    However, this is a small price to pay.

    Many thanks again

    Paul
