closing and sharing a database application

[Toeying]

hello all,
I am building an application that is supposed to run from a shared server. I am about to conclude the development but I am not sure how to release it for use.
I have created the startup options and copied the application to the shared server but when the other users open the application, they get all sorts of warning messages including "block unsafe expressions" and then the default access open screen before actually opening the application. How can I suppress these?
I have also tried creating an MDE but access crashed both times I tried. What can be going wrong?
Bottom line what I want to do is to release my application to users who will access it from a shared networked drive. Many Thanks.

I am using access 2003

Have you split the Database?

 

[Toeying]

yes i have done that

and each user has their own copy of the front end on their local drive?

For Access 2003, you need to adjust the users computers settings for macros and the sandbox.

Warning, do not mess with a users registry settings unless you know exactly what you are doing!

no each user doesnt have a copy of the front end. they are accessing it from the shared drive. Guess i should do that right? I'll get back to you

Yes you should definitely do that. Also look into ghudson's suggestion as this is probably what is causing your errors

Hi, messing with the system registry is quite scaring to me as I have not really worked with hardware for a while. I'll see what i can do anyway. I have read about setting the security level to low. whats your take on that?? I know it says not recommended unless you have virus scanning...etc..
