Open the macro in design view, insert a new row at top and anothe at bottom.
Add action 'SetWarnings' - No in the new row at top and 'SetWarnings' - Yes
in the new row at bottom.

Thank you for your prompt response Karl !
Unfortunately, in 2007 there is no option "SetWarnings" in the list in
design view.
That was the way I used to do it in 2003. Is there a way this option can be
added by users in design view so that it can be used? It's not allowing
anything apart from the listed options with the current settings.

Biggles,

Click the Show All Actions button on the Show/Hide group on the Macro
Design Tools tab.

By the way, you don't need to put a SetWarnings/Yes action in the
macro... the warnings automatically reverts at the end of the macro
