I have read through the various posting regarding ACCESS 2003 security warnings. As like everyone else, I receive a security warning stating, “This file may not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer.” I have already installed Microsoft Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 and I have already enabled sandbox mode. This warning still appears when I try to open databases sent to me by other people. It also appears when I try to create a new database from my own computer. I understand why this message may appear when I open other peoples’ databases, but why would this error message appear on my own computer after I create a database from the very same computer? I would like to market my databases to specific clients, but I need to eliminate the security warnings that would appear each time they opened my databases from their computers. I don’t want to suggest that people change their security levels to low in order to open my database. For this reason, I am considering the option of digitally signing my databases with an authenticated signature. As something like this would run anywhere up to about $400.00, I want to make sure that it would be the best, and correct, option for me. My ultimate question: If I am already trying to create databases from my own computer and receive this warning message, would a digital certificate work in eliminating the error message for my future clients? Also, I understand that I may use the signatures for up to a year. Would I be able to use this for multiple databases that I create as long as it’s within that one year, or would I only be able to sign one specific database and use that same database for the entire year? This is a bit of a pricey endeavor for me, so if there are any other options, I’d love to hear those, too. Thank for the help in advance!
Every time I open a database, no matter than I've opened it before, it asks opening blalala.mbd maybe harmful to your computer. Is there some way to stop that message? I went searching around in tools customize and nothing.
When I open my DB (I use Access 2003), Access flashes a window 'Security warning : This file may not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer. Do you want to open this file or cancel the operation?' How do I stop this annoying message so that my DB opens directly?
Hi, I have a database, which contains linked tables to another database. The information held in the tables are mostly open for every permitted user but some of the table informations are restricted to a few user only. To manage all of this different permissions I created a workgroup, changed all the necessary things to become an administrator and run the security wizard to secure my database. Finally I want to give every single group the access it belongs to. And there is my problem. I have a form which has a VBA code underlying which selects data from a table and two queries and where the user can set individual criterias. For me as an admin user this form works perfect. When I log on as a user I can't find out how to set the permissions not to receive the error message: "You do not have the necessary permission to use the 'MSys Table' object...." The user should not be an admin user and I already set the modify, update, delete, read, read design permission to the group. Nothing helps. Please if anybody has an idea what I can try I really would appreaciate this help! Thanks very much :)
Ok.. I have done this before at another job, but this network (or stupid me) is giving me trouble. I'm trying to setup a database security (login/password) for a database on a network. I setup the security levels..setup a seperate workgroup... From my computer it logins fine with the correct workgroup.
Am using the standard files ACCESSRT.MSI and ACCESSRT.CAB to install Runtime.
Does anybody know a QUICK way of supressing the annoying security messages which pop up, when the application starts under this configuration?
I don't want to write any fancy install wizards or scripts, just need a basic runtime install like the above method, but with "Low" Macro security set.
I'm new to access , and i need one of the common security in access , for example i create a new project and all the data has been secure but when open the database in start up that Security warning is appear.
However , now i want to disable that message box using vba or modules ...
I was wondering if anybody knew a way to disable the security warning in Access that pops up saying "This file may not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer. Do you want to open this file or cancel the operation?"
If possible, I'd like to disable the message for just my database, but we currently don't use any other database anyway, so I'm not too concerned with turning it off completely if that's all I can do. I'm sure there has to be an option somewhere to not check for macros or something, but I can't find it.
If anyone knows how to do this or if you know that it is not possible, please let me know.
every time i open .mdb file, i get a security warning that the file may be not safe to be opened if it conatins some code that might harm my computer. in order to open the file' i have to press open. how can i avoid this warning? thank you.
when trying to automatically send email through MS Access application, the following message appears:
"a program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook and asking if you want to allow this" "a program is trying to automatically send e-mail..."
How to disable these warning messages when executing MS Access application to send email?
I've read and gone though quite a few of the scrips and examples for creating logins and security and i'm getting to the stage when i need to have good understanding of the different methods.
Some of the examples whilst create a user login do not really allow for security within the database whilst the build in security wizard would appear to offer that functionality.
I am thinking that I will use the Workgroup file and that method. My question is am i able to utilise the fact that if a person 'AdamA' logs onto the database which is built into the workgroup security file. am I then able to take 'AdamA' to populate a table which records actions by a user? (I can't seem to find any thread or book reference to doing this)
I designed a combox and also set the property of 'limited to list' to yes. I also declared the function NotInList with my own message box. But, the MS-Access default warning message box still comes up after displaying my one.
If I turned the property of 'limited to list' to no, it can trigger the function at all.
Does anyone here have any idea on how to turn the system default warning message box off?
i was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out here. I've been spending hours but to no avail. It seems to be a very trivial problem but i'm just out of luck.
I've been getting this pop-up message everytime i try to open up an access application such as .mdb files.
Open file - Security Warning Do you want to open this file ... two buttons: Open & Cancel
My question is if there is a way to turn it off or disable this warning from popping up when opening an access application.
We have shared MDE, when second user opens gets message: [B]You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time. If you proceed to make changes, you may not be able to save them later. The message seems to repeat for each compiled object (Form, Report and Module). Helptext states occurs when in design mode - but not in design mode! Any ideas as to how we can suppress the warning?
I apologise if this has been answered, I couldn't find anywhere else on the forum.
On the data access page it gives an annoying warning that says 'This website is using your identity to access a data source. If you trust this website, click OK to continue, otherwise click cancel'.
Is there a way I can suppress this message? It looked cool at the start, but now it's just annoying....
I wonder if anyone here might be able to help me out here. I've been pondering this issue for so long and i was almost giving up.
I've been getting this warning everytime i open up an Access file (.MDB) especially, when trying to open up a file that's sitting on another computers. i have a few computers and they are set up in a peer to peer environment.
I took a printscreen of the warning message and attached it to this post. Please take a look at it. It's called "access.jpg"
Is there any way of turning it off? is it to do with the peer to peer networking?
I have an Access 2010 db on a shared network drive. All users accessing the db are running Windows 7 OS and have a licensed corporate version of Access 2010. The advanced options "Shared", "Edited record" and "Open dabases by using record-level locking" are turned on. Additionally, the locking time limits are set to their default levels. If a user selects the save icon after making additions or updates, the following waring message appears:
Costar Job Database can't save design changes or save to a new database object because another user has the file open. To save you design changes or to save to a new object, you must have exclusive access to the file.Since I developed the db, I am the only one that makes design or object changes. I know that users don't need to select the save icon to update the db, but I don't want them to "freak out" if they select save and see the message. Is there any way to prevent the message from being displayed?
I have a 2007 db, been working no it in 2007 and occasionally in 2010, careful not to use any 2010 items. Well I goofed and added a Navigation Form (2010 only) and then deleted it. Now My 2007 db opens in 2007 fine, everything works, but the glowering Warning message and lovely yellow yield sign show up constantly. How do you resolve the incompatible items and clear this warning?
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard. But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007. I can't use the Package Wizard.
I have two database applications and they are: - the (A) application is for administration use. - the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables Dim db As DAO.Database Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim varItem As Variant Dim strCriteria As String Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri Masonry NSW');'
Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.
I am working on a massave aplication that has been running in Access 2000, but recently several of the file sharing users have installed Access 2003 because of the limited availability of Access 2000. All the users are using the same file off the server.
The problem we are having is that when we reference a subform in the "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName]![FeildName]" Access 2003 does not recognize it and returns an error. I have found that if I will modify it to "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName].[Form]![FeildName]" it is recognized in both 2000 and 2003.
To try and change every instance of a subform reference will take forever and I am garuteed to overlook something. We reference subforms all over our program, missing any one of them would be a disaster. Before I went to the tedious task of looking through everything I just wanted to throw the situation out there and see if any of you had any great ideas on how to get it fixed efficiently. I would apreciate any ideas.
I upgraded a 2000 db to 2003 recently. When I ran the function below it gave me an error on the line in green. Any thoughts? Thanks. Const FIRSTROW = 13

I have an Access DB that I created in Access XP. It works perfectly when used in Access XP. When used in an Access 2003 environment some of the functions don't work anymore. I have users who use Office XP and users who use Office 2003. Does anybody know how to make this DB work in Access 2003 without having to do wholesale code changes?
I have already changed the security to "Low" to bypass the security feature built in in Jet 4.0 but it didn't help. I might have to uninstall Windows XP SP2 to make it work because I know that the application works in an Office 2003 environment with Windows XP SP1 only. But I'm trying to avoid having to uninstall XP SP2 because it's a pain. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
My workstation environment is as follows:
OS: Windows XP SP2 Office: Office 2003 SP1 Jet: 4.0
