I thought I had this figured out, but apparently am still missing something...
When I start my DB, I get the default 'Security Warning' message every time asking if I want to cancel or continue... I thought this was an options setting under the Tools/Macro/Security setting. However, when I change this setting (default is Medium) to Low, exit Access and restart the DB I get the same warning message and the security setting is back to medium.
Am I in the right area to fix this? Why would my settings default back?
I'm not sure this would be allowed as it could be maliciously abused, but what I want to do is turn of warnings when a user fires up my DB.
What currently happens is a user gets 3 pop up warnings in a row the first time they use the DB with essentially the same warnings and "do you want to run this" questions.
The next time the user runs the DB they only get one warning.
On another thread I was told how to turn warnings on and off within the database: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=499732#post499732
'Turn warnings on & Hourglass on DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.Hourglass True
Code in routine that would generate warnings goes here.
'Turn warnings on & Hourglass off DoCmd.SetWarnings True DoCmd.Hourglass False
What I would like is some way to replicate the functionality for the DB. Is this possible?
I will be sending out copies of a program to several locations. Once I send the program I have absolutely no control over it. The FE file will always be in the same folder. The setup process creates C:MyFolder with the FE file in there. Is there a way to to programmatically disable the warnings throughout setup or to make C:MyFolder a trusted location?
I am using MSAccess 2002. I have removed the tables and queries to reduce file size. I have set database password as "planning". In the form named "Form1" I have created a Shift-Key Enable/Disable button with password "SIMON". In Menu Starup, I have also disallowed Display Database Window, disallowed Built-in Toolbars and disallowed Toolbar/Menu Changes. Now I have problem because I cant unset the Security password and make changes in Startup.. because the Menu Tool/Security, Startup..etc have disappeared. How do I get them back again?
I just installed ofice 2003 and always get a warning message that some codes in my database might harm my aplication. SECURITY WARNING: USAFE EXRESSIONS ARE NOT BLOCKED" SAYING MICROSOT JET 4.0 SERVICE ARK OR LATER MUST BE INSTALLED. How do i get this solved and what is the major advantage of access 2003 over 2002.?
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 have a problem where i unchecked the "allow built in toolbars" , "allow toolbar menu changes","allow full menus" and " allow default shortcut menus" from the TOOLS Menu item (STARTUP) How do i get back all the menus to show when the application starts up?
Hello to everyone!, Could I ask a help how could I possibly code MS Access Startup to set the MenuBar, ShortCut Menu, FormMenu, Special Keys to OFF to prevent user from using these keys when my application starts?
I have a database that will be used by a few users who are not very comfortable with Microsoft Access. I have a login screen and a introduction/splash popup. I was wondering if it is possible to bypass the Microsoft Access pop-ups that ask the user if they want to "block unsafe code.." or The security popup that says "This file may not be safe" so that the users go right to the login screen I created within the database. I am worried that there will be variations in answering/clicking these Microsoft Access questions thus causing a variety of complaints when trying to access the database. Thank you
Hi I've just moved my PC over to Office 2007. I have previously created an application in A2003 that consists of three databases which I move between frequently using command buttons running the following code to close the current one and open the new one:-
Private Sub Command14_Click() Dim RegSet As New QwestLib.QRegistryFunctions On Error GoTo Err_command14_Click
Application.Quit acQuitSaveAll Exit_command14_Click: Exit Sub
Err_command14_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_command14_Click End Sub
In 2003 this worked fine but we always had to enable macros on opening the new one. This is now not required as the application is "Trusted" but in A2007 every time a database opens the "Getting Started with MS Access" window opens.
Is there some way I can switch this off as it is unnecessary and time consuming.
I'm trying to migrate an Access 2000 project to Access 2007. I want that the frontend doesn't look like Access. This means: no ribbons, no office button, no Quick Access Toolbar, no database panel. In 2K, this was rather simple, but in 2007 I only managed so far to get rid of the ribbon (by replacing it with a blank ribbon) and the navigation pane, but I can't figure out what to do to hide the Office button and the QAT. Can anyone help me with this ?

Sorry if this is a really dumb question - I have just started using Access and I couldn't find the answer to this doing a forum search.
I have made a database consisting of a table and a form. All I want to do is get the form to appear automatically when the database is opened. I am using Access 2007.
I know that I can startup MS-Access manually and bypass the startup options, including any macro that is set to run automatically, by holding the Shift key down when launching the application. I have:
Code: Public Sub AccessStuff() Dim myaccess As New Access.Application myaccess.OpenCurrentDatabase(" orfs006slsops_repts\_RS DevSOPSOP.MDB") Dim db = myaccess.CurrentDb() End Sub
which works nicely and opens the database just fine. However, this mdb has a startup macro defined in it. I can't hold down the Shift key since I'm doing this from a program. In this case, how can I bypass the startup macro?
Thought I best ask this question BEFORE I run into trouble.
If I were to set my database to hide the database window and all menus on startup so that users can only do what I want them to do and not edit anything. How do I go about reversing this if I needed to edit something as I would not be able to see any of the regular menus?
It would be good if the solution involved some sort of admin password rather than a sneaky short cut that a user may accidently stumble across.
I have noticed that the "warnings" in my access 200o database no longer pop up. As example, if I went to delete a table or record, I used to get a pop up warning from MS Access asking for confirmation. Now the record just deletes without a warning. This seems to be happening with other things too.
I need to build a SQL statement (several actually) which will be appending/deleting/updating data.
I would prefer to turn off warnings so that I don't have to click on "Yes" 9 times per operation.
However, I don't want to just turn off warnings, as if a certain operation does anything but append/update/delete 1 record, I need to know. Is there a way to determine how many records are going to be appended/deleted/updated and if it's not 1, then run some other code?
I have a combobox, and the 'OnNotInList' event has code to show a message box, then set focus to another control. That all works fine, however I am still getting the system generated 'Not in List Warning', despite the code for the not in list event starting with DoCmd.Setwarnings (False)
I have a button on a form that appends data to a table. When I click the button, I get 2 warnings:
1) "You are about to append 1 row"
2) "Microsoft Access can't append all the record in the append query."
I know I can use docmd.setwarnings = false then set back to true, but I'm only interested in suppressing the 1st warning, and I want the user to see the second warning.
Is there any way to suppress the 1st warning and display the 2nd?
