Security Certificates

[MikeFabro]

Howdy all;

I've got a data access page accessing an access database on the web, but whenever anyone tries to access the page, they're prompted to lower their security settings so that they can submit information... this is no good.

Does anyone know how to get around this?!

not that I am aware of. But you don't have to "lower it" , rather you can just customize it the security setting. For the internet security setting, under custom settings, under miscelaneous... check enable for "access data sources across domains". This will keep the other higher level securities while allowing you access the data.

The other solution is to write the pages in a web language like ASP or ASP.NET.

What new and glorious ways Microsoft finds to annoy us. I'll bet they have a team with just that task

I can't say for certain but from what I've read, your only recourse is BUYING a certificate from some company that sells them. I don't know the price for sure but I have seen $400 per year. You need DIFFERENT certificates for Web-based applications, server-based applications, etc. I'd buy stock in one of those companies. They'll be doing a lot of new business to support Access. The latest issue of Access VB SQL Advisor (April 2004) has an article that touches on this issue. Article title is Develop Smarter With Access 2003.

I saw an article once on how to make your own Security Certificate, but when I went to try, found that the menu item in the VB toolbar they talked about just wasn't there. It turned out that the article, written under the heading of A2000 actually forgot to check that the menu item was there in A97 but not 2000.

Typical.
