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?
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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!

Hi everyone,
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.
Thanks,
Sean
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.
I need to set some 'global' variables with default values when my Access 2007 database is loaded. Depending on the user etc these values may be modifed after Access starts but defaults need to be set.
I declared the variables as 'Public' in a Module, then put a function in the same Module (to set the default values) then tried to call the function from an "AutoExec" macro, so it's the first thing that runs when Access loads.The macro throws an error - it can't 'find' the function(?)
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?
Many thanks
How can you block a query from getting new information from a table? but yet keep it's current values.

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.
Thank you in advance
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?
How can I get Design View off the toolbar? I have users getting into it and making changes. I need to keep this from happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sales information can be added against a customer record. What I would like to achieve is for users to still be able to record new sales information, but historical sales information (e.g. before 2007) can be viewed but not be able to be edited or changed. Is there a way of achieving this.
Thanks in advance...Paul
In my data input form I have several boxes. In one case i wish to allow data to be input if a certain box is marked. that mark will allow any of six boxes to be checked. This works for me. However, in the event that the certain original box is marked in error, how do I allow the box to be unmarked and make the six other boxes closed to input?
such as: (box) do it
(box) one (box) two (box) three
box do it is marked. It allows any of 1,2,3 to be chosen. Box do it is marked in error and reclicked to blank. Boxes 1,2,3 need to close up so they cannot be marked. How do I get them to close up?
Thanks
Hi there,
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....
Thanks!
Hi,
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?
Thank you in advance
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 need to create a query and find records where the customer id starts with 4016. I know this is fairly simple but I can't remember how to do this.

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?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a table, Purchases, which has a 1:N relationship with another table, Items. Each purchase can have multiple Items.
'PurchaseID' is the primary key of my Purchases table.
The Items table has a composite primary key, made up of PurchaseID (making it an identifying relationship) and ItemID.
As you can see, I have ItemID starting reverting back to 1 each time PurchaseID increments. PurchaseID is an autonumber on the Purchases table, however ItemID is just a Number and has to be entered manually. If I set ItemID to an autonumber, it will continue to increment even after PurchaseID changes.
What I am trying to do is to get ItemID to auto-increment but revert back to 1 each time PurchaseID increments.
The entry form for both looks like this:
The Record Source of the main form is the Purchases table, and the subform is a Multiple Items Form based on the Items table. Filling out the form will create a new Purchase record with an auto-incremented PurchaseID, and a number of new Item records with that same PurchaseID, and whatever ItemID's are specified in the subform. Currently the ItemID's have to be entered manually as 1, 2, 3, etc.
Is there a way to get them to auto-increment, but begin from 1 for each new Purchase record?
I need to write a query that shows all records if any 'L' field starts with D. I have written this, but it's only pulling records if L1 starts with D.
SELECT Item, Description, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, L9, L10, L11, L12
FROM Table5
WHERE ((L1 LIKE 'D*') OR (L2 LIKE 'D*') OR (L3 LIKE 'D*') OR (L4 LIKE 'D*') OR (L5 LIKE 'D*') OR (L6 LIKE 'D*') OR (L7 LIKE 'D*') OR (L8 LIKE 'D*') OR (L9 LIKE 'D*') OR (L10 LIKE 'D*') OR (L11 LIKE 'D*') OR (L12 LIKE 'D*'));
I have access db sending report with outlook every Monday.
But the problem is if outlook is open when I start the db, email goes in to outgoing folder and msg box of outlook opens saying " outlook will close after countdown if I do not hit the "DO NOT EXIT" button or "EXIT AND SEND LATER" button.
If I hit "EXIT AND SEND LATER" button, it sends next time I open the outlook.
Is it possible to prevent outlook doing this?
The above image is of a table which I need to update according to a new data on daily basis. As you can see when I added two records at the last , the AutoNumber primary key of the table jumped by thousands . I have used the following query to update the table
Code:
db.Execute "INSERT INTO D_Counterparty (CPTY_ENTITY_ID,CPTY_DESC)"_ & "SELECT Ctpy_Entity_Id,Ctpy_Entity_Legal_Nm"_ & "FROM NewCU LEFT JOIN D_Counterparty ON D_Counterparty.CPTY_ENTITY_ID=NewCU.Ctpy_Entity_Id"
I never changed the AutoNumber from incremental to random and I have also tried re-seeding it but had no success. Also when I inserted the sample values using a sample table ,the AutoNumber was working fine . Here's that query
Code:
db.Execute "INSERT INTO D_Counterparty (CPTY_ENTITY_ID,CPTY_DESC,) SELECT a,b, FROM sample"
I did not use join in this query ...
