Microsoft Access Question 3?

Before I can open my database in Access I encounter a security question that warns me that my file may be unsafe to open if it contains evile code.

I created the database so I know there is no harmful code.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of that annoying message?

Thanks,

Jerry

    More often that not, the error message is because of macros. In Access click on tools > Macro > Security. Change the setting to low and the error message won't come up. FYI, do it at your own risk. This setting is global, so if you open another database that someone else created then their macro will execute as well.

    If this does not fix the problem, post the exact error message and I'll see if i can come up with another solution.
