accept this content

[philfer]

Hello,

When you open a DB and you get the prompt to "accept this content" is there a way to programatically set it to accept the content for the DB that is being opened.

I am user navigation forms which will cover the screen and thus the user would not see this prompt.

I dont want to change their security settings in general and if I can avoid is dont want to set up any trusted locations (just to be on the safe side).

Is there a way forward

Thanks
Phil

Nope, no programmatical way to do that as that is a security feature. So, the way around it is to set a trusted location and only put that which is trusted there.

Just a side note -

If there were a way to programmatically enable the content, then that would defeat the purpose of it anyway as any virus makers would just use it. Wouldn't you think so????

Actually, there is a way. If you make the appropriate registry key entries, you can add the current folder the database is in as a Trusted Location. I understand Tony Toews' Auto FE Updater does something like that.

I'm not sure on the details, but I imagine it has to be done outside of Access, though.

That is stil creating a Trusted Location which is what the OP didn't want.

The alternative is to use Trusted Publisher, something I've been unable to work out since they disable using digital signatures as one could do in 2003-earlier. One can use the "Package and Sign" but this only apply to "installing" and not to "always trust it because it's from one of those guy." What a quagmire.
