Question Security Notice when running from shared drive in Runtime environment

[Cloyce]

Hello,
Launching app from a shared drive in a 2010 run-time / Server 2008 environment yields a "Microsoft Access Security Notice". Apparantly need to make the shared drive a "Trusted Location". Runtime user interface apparantly does not provide access to this functionality. I suppose editing the registry is required.

Would someone kindly provide the registery entry to define a shared drive as a Trusted Location from which to run the app and avoid the security message?

Thanks in advance.

Now that we got that out of the way, go to;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations

From here you can add another location key with Edit>New>Key. In the new Key you add a new String Value for the path (call it Path and set its value to your actual path) and if you want to allow sub folders you create a new DWORD named AllowSubfolders with a value of 1. Not sure, but you may also need to add a DWORD for AllowNetworkLocations with a value of 1

Hello Beetle and thanks for trying to help me.....

I entered a string, with the unc path

...did not work (I am not using subfolders)...

I added DWORD for "AllowNetworkLocations"

....did not work...

Any more ideas?
Thanks.

OK, I just re-read your original question (paying a bit more attention this time). Each user should have their own copy of the front end, so the path to the trusted location should be local (i.e. - C:\Users\UserName\Documents). If you are trying to let multiple users share the same front end from a network location, in a word, don't. This is just begging for corruption.

Thanks Beetle for your continued effort to assist....

Actually, the app is published via Citrix....we have done this for years with another app (and lived with the security message)....

I suspect there is something about the way I am entering the path that is incorrect?

Might you provide an example or two of how to specify?

Thanks.

Hello Beetle,

Looks like I had "AllowNetworkLocations" in the wrong place. When moved to "Trusted Locations" folder and when "AllowSubfolders" added to nested Location folder, the Security Message no longer appears.

Thanks for suggesting the use of these DWORDS.
