Turn off warnings in Access 2003 runtime

[Diarmuid]

Hi
The MSDN people have refused to send me the Windows Component Update for
Office XP Developer, or let me download it. So I've moved onto Office 2003
and left the database in Access 2000 format. However, I get the warning
everytime "file may not be safe", then the user must click Open or Cancel.
If they had the full version of Access, I could select Tools/Macro/Security
and set it to low. How can I get around this on machines with only the
runtime version?
Also, some PCs get the warning about unsafe expresssions, even after
I've installed Jet 8. Any ideas on this?
Thanks
Diarmuid

Hi Diarmuid,

It's so frustating that you still could not find that Windows Component
Update :(

Anyway, if you want to eliminate that Security Warning in Access runtime,
you could follwoing the steps below:

0. Open Registry Editor with command "regedit" from Start -> Run
1. Go into
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\]
2. Right Click -> New -> Key, type "Security" (no quotation mark included)
3. In newly created Key Security, Right Click -> New -> DWORD Value, type
"Level " (no quotation mark included)
4. double Click new created value Level, type "00000001" (no quotation mark
included) in Value data and keep others what it used to be
5. restart machine and you will see it works:)

However, As I have said "Level" is a DWORD value, you could not make it
inserted by Access Runtime Package, if you want to package it within your
distribute package, you will have to use Third Party Tools, such as
InstallShield to this kind of regiestry modification:)

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are here to be of assistance!

Hi Diarmuid,

Have you tried my steps? Could you make it as expected? I wanted to post a
quick note to see if you would like additional assistance or information
regarding this particular issue.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Yes, that worked fine. Just got to figure out which automatic process I will
use to make the reg change!
Thanks

Hi Diarmuid,

Thanks for your prompt reply!

Based on my knowledge, when we are packaging Access Runtime with Package
Wizard, there will be an option for registry insert. However, DWORD values
insert is not supported for Package Wizard :(

Fortunately, some third party tools such as InstallShield could provide
such kind of DWORD value insert, with which, I believe, you will be able to
make this insert within your package :) Detailed information for this could
be found at http://www.installshield.com

I am sorry for that inconvenience and hope this helps. Thank you for your

patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, don't
hesitate to let me know.

Sincerely yours,
