Question : Ms Access 2003 .mdb "may not be safe"
|
|
I'm having the same problem as described here, http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/MS_Access/Q_21503039.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+%22mai+safe%22+mdb- however setting security to "Low" did not resolve the problem.
I have verified that I have Jet Service pack 4 / 8 xxxx.
I followed the instructions for creating a digital certificate for VBA projects - now how do I use it? Where do I apply it so that my Access Database will open without these security messages.
It is for an .mdb file that I run on my PC and it is called from an access scheduler program.
Hope someone can help.
Thankyou

The business about unsafe expressions will happen again each time you change your security settings. If you want to maintain medium or high security, you should finish reading the pages about using VBA signed projects, e.g.:
Using Signed Office VBA Projects http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa190098
Or the entire sub-chapter starting with: Using Digital Certificates to Produce Trusted Solutions http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa190072
I believe the step you skipped was in the dialog "This file has been digitally signed by...". At the bottom, you have: "Always trust files from this publisher and open them automatically". If it grayed out, it means you have created the certificate, but you haven't installed it. This can happen (creating a new certificate, which isn't automatically installed -- doesn't make sense but it happens). In that case, you will find an "Install" button when viewing the certificates.
Cheers! (°v°)
