When I open up my database i get a securoty warning that says
opening"filr name"
this file may not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer. would you like to continue?
Is there anyway of getting rid of that warning. It's not a huge deal but its one extra step at signing into our database.
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?
Thanks
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?

Is there a way of bypassing this warning so the database is just updated no fuss ?

Recently
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.
Any thoughts ???
Thanks

Hi Guys,
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?
Thanks in advance,
Keith.
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?
Hello all
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.?
Please help.
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)
How to disable the warning?
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?
How can I suppress the warnings that Excel displays when saving the text file?
These are the messages displayed when saving the file as text:
"The file already exists. Do you want to replace the existing file?" RESPONSE: Yes
"myfile.xls may contain features not compatible with Text..." RESPONSE: Yes
These are the messages displayed when closing the file:
"Do you want to save the changes you made?" RESPONSE: Yes or No - can enter either as no further changes have been made
"The file already exists. Do you want to replace the existing file?" RESPONSE: Yes or No - can enter either as no further changes have been made
I am working in Access 2010. A bound combo box, Not In List event. I have the following code. It opens up a form to add the new name in. The form opens and then the "Not in List" message pops up. I have tried adding the SetWarnings to both forms, created a SetWarning macro, to no available. The message keeps popping up. My code is below. I know I need to set the warnings back to true - but for now, I just want to get rid of the message before sticking it back into the code.
Dim intAnswer As Integer
Dim strSQL As String
intAnswer = MsgBox("The acquirer/buyer " & Chr(34) & NewData & _
Chr(34) & " is not currently listed." & vbCrLf & _
"Would you like to add it to the list now?" _
, vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Healthcare REIT")

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)
Is it possible to do this through vba. If security is setup for all the tables and a user goes in and creates a new table, can that table have security applied to it using code?
So maybe the creator of the table has read/write privileges but everyone else only has read only.
:confused: I can't access my database. I used many tools to scan my database password, and I had many results but I can't used any one.
This's my database. Can you help me?
Hi
I am experimenting in creating security of a database, and elements within.
I started by creating a user account with a password. I then made a few mistakes, so wanted to delete the mdb, and start again.
However, when I now try to create a new database, or even open a pre existing database, I am asked for the user and password created in the now-deleted mdb.
Apart from the fact that it shouldn't ask for the user name and pasword created in the first database, I am sure it doesn't accept the password I intered in creating the account.
The easy solution would be to delete the file where Access stores user accounts. Where is it, and is it protected, such that I can't delete it? And even if the user name and password still exists somewhere, it should only apply to the database in which it was created, shouldn't it?
Thanks
Robert
Hi all,
Just looking for a little advice on data protection. I have a split database which is accessed from the front end (forms only). All data is stored on the back end, which is hidden away from the user.
The database is password protected, and both sides use a login authentication to avoid unwanted access. However, the usernames and passwords are easily retrievable by opening the database a text document.
Any ideas on how to make this more secure?
Cheers

I try to play Security.
After I created it, the shortcut is created on the screen.
Everytime needs to click the shortcut to login it.
But, when I go to database file, and then click it, it does not work, it will show the following message:
You do not have the necessary permissions to use the <name> object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you. (Error 3033)
You do not have the necessary permissions for the specified object. To change your permission assignments, see your system administrator or the object's creator.
So, is it ony the shortcut to login it?
if delete the shortcut uncarefully, how to do it??
Thanks.
Hi,
Problem 1:
I setup a security, stored the security file and other files in the drive D:
it works.
after I move the files to the drive C:, then it doesn't work.
Why it doesn't work?
Problem 2:
After I created security, there are acc.mdb, acc.bak, and Secured files, right.
how can I add this link:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" "D:acc.mdb" /WRKGRP "D:Secured.mdw" in the target to the acc.mdb file.
Because when it doesn't work, and then I created a shortcut of the acc.mdb file, then add the above code. Then it works, it give out the prompt.
Does any method instead of this, better than this?
Please let me know, thanks.
Hi
When using security login, can we logout and then login to the database without shutting down the database and re-opening.
Such as using a button to logout and then another to login.

Can some one help me?
I am trying to set up a database in which the the table portion is password protected but the query section can be manipulated or updated as users see fit. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks, S
Hi,
I have now finished my system that will run on a windows network. I now need to get the security setup so different users can access different pages.
I have set a list of users and specified what forms/tables they can access. The problem is, how does access know who is accessing the pages? For example, i have set 2 users - Dave G & Dave S - I have given Dave G access to the admin forms as he is the admin and I have given Dave S access to the general data input forms.
How is this enforced? How does access know which person is opening the forms. Unless access asks the user to login using their user name set in access, I cannot see how it can manage what users can do what.
Thanks
I have locked down my welding data base and had some problems arise mabe someone eles has had this problem. All of the tables in other data base that are linked to the welding data base now will not allow me to utilize them I get the error message that I do not have rights too that information. Even though I have full access rights to the welding data base and can make changes at will.
Why can't I do any thing to the others? HELP!!!!!
First of all, i am pretty new to this....
We have a few access databases in a network. More and more people in our organization are using the databases so I am learning to create some user-level security.
We have access 2000.
Access links to a WIF to create user-level security.
But I think there is an easy way that anyone can get pass that.
Even if I have set all the groups and users privileges and restrictions, anyone can simply switch from one WIF to another WIF, then they would have changed all their privileges and restrictions.
Am I understanding this correctly?
If so, what can I do better secure the database.
Another question:
How can I prevent someone from simply copy/delete the access file from windows? I am afraid that someone, maybe a disgruntled employee or even myself making stupid mistakes, delete the whole access .mdb file, and I would loss everything.
I do backup the file, but even if I back it up every night, if something like this happens, i would have lost a whole day of work.
Your advice are highly appreciated.
Thank you all for your help.
Hi,
I followed the security wizard and everything worked fine. However, when I move the database to another computer or another folder, it prints this message:
'You don't have the necessary permission to use (path)...'
Is there anyway to avoid this please?
Thanks,
B
Access security is really very confusing, thought I had conquered it but I was wrong. I have been playing with a test DB. How on earth do you reset a password for a user? I just can't see where you go to assign a new password.
Managed to clear the password but then got stuck.
Cheers
