2007 from 2003

[AN60]

I have a db created & saved in 2003 & now I want to use it in 2007. To get it working I have had to turn the macro trust setting off completely. Can someone nudge me in the right direction so I can edit the db so 2007 trusts it. I'm not familiar with the ramifications of leaving macros off or otherwise. As yet the db is still in 2003 format. The Switchboard was where I first encountered the problem. Funny thing was that other dbs in 2003 format didn't give any problems, but that's computers for ya.

You need to set the database location as a Trusted Location. See here how to do that.

Bob,

Thank you. I just switched to 2007 recently and have been having a problem opening only one of my databases. I thought it was a problem with the Switchboard. But after reading your post, realized that this was the only database that I held in a different location. This saved me a lot of time!! Thank you!
