Trouble copying DB from CD

[JReichnan]

I have an Access DB I have to put on numberous laptops. The DB is being transported via a CD. When i try to copy the DB from teh CD to a new folder on the laptop I get messages that the DB may have a virus and it cant be copied, or I need to install a microsoft service bulliten...xxxx ( I am not sure what the number is). The DB does contain VBA code and I am certain it is virus free. Is there some setting in access which enables this file to be copied on laptops which do contain virus or firewall protection or must I disable virus protection on these machines before instlaling the program or is it another issue altogether. Thanks.

It sounds like the laptop might have protection to stop vb scripts from being processed and recognizes the Access database as a possible thread (they can be viruses themselves.) If you have admin rights on the laptop, you should be able to allow the database to run.

Thank you so much Vasago.....Where do you find out about administrator rights on the laptop, if you dont mind me asking.

Start / Settings / Control Panel / System / Advanced / User Profiles / Settings /

You need to see "Administrator" beside your computer name.
