No Options in File - Access Runtime 2021 (1 Viewer)

[Pete490h]

Hi,

Earlier today I installed Access Runtime 2021 on two PC’s that previously had runtime 2010
After installation I uninstalled runtime 2010, then opened our database on a runtime 2021 pc but was met by a security notice advising that I check that it was a trusted database
When I clicked okay, our database opened
I then selected the File tab, so I could change the macro settings etc in the trust center, however the Options tab wasn’t there, so obviously I couldn’t reach the trust center
Has anyone any ideas/solutions thanks

You can use a script or third party app to set the trusted location in the registry.

You can't get to the backstage options using the runtime. Try opening Word or Excel and setting the trusted location. I don't know if that will work but it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you will need to create a batch file that sets the trusted location and run that first. OR, trust the file one time and use code behind a form to make the trusted locations.

Personally I would have removed 2010, before trying 2021. However I have never used runtime.

I use these utilities:

Ribbons for Access 2007 / Access 2010 – Trusted Locations

Access 2007 Ribbon Website * Access 2010 Ribbon Website * Home of Ribbon Creator

www.accessribbon.de

Try opening Word or Excel and setting the trusted location. I don't know if that will work but it's worth a try.

Trusted Locations are per Office Application. So, it will not work to use Excel (or Word) to define a Trusted Location for an Access file.

Option will not be available on Runtime, it's simple and plain like that.

If you don't set a database as a trusted database/location it will always warn you when you open it. The runtime doesn't let you set it as trusted, so you have to authorise it each time it opens. It's a minor inconvenience in order to use MS Access as free software, I believe.

More than likely, you will need to open the original .accdb file in the new office version first. Then adjust the Trusted Locations settings and then open then newly created updated file in 2021 Runtime.
