Access 2007 Runtime Security Issue

My Access 2007 file fails to open on a machine with the 2007 Access
runtime version installed. It comes up with a Security alert message.
Is there a security setting in the Access Database that needs to be
enabled to run the code and macros?

As a security measure, by default Windows will not allow databases
created on external and untrusted machines to automatically open. It's
probable that you need to authorize the Access application.

In Windows explorer, Right-click on the .mdb or .mde file and select
'Properties'. On the General tab there should be a button to authorize
your application to open.

Thanks Ron. I have opened the properties/security tab and given all
users full permission and re-booted the system.
Still comes up with the same message.

The security system changed in A2007.
You have to determine a Trusted Location (folder) for your accdb.
In full version that's done by adding the place to a list under Access
options. Runtime has no office menu button. So you have to add the folder to
the registry manually adding a locations key, e.g.:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\A ccess\Security\Trusted
Locations\Location1]
AllowSubFolders (REG_DWORD) = 1
Path (REG_SZ) "C:\MyTrustedDatabaseFolderNo1"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\A ccess\Security\Trusted
Locations\Location2]
AllowSubFolders (REG_DWORD) = 1
Path (REG_SZ) "C:\MyTrustedDatabaseFolderNo2"

Ciao, Sascha

Thanks. It worked

I also had to include an autoexec makro to open the switchboard at
startup. Access 2007 does not seem to have a simple way of automating
startup, as dis Access 2002/3

In Access 2007, open up the program, click on the office button. At
the bottom is a button for acces options. Pic current or this data
base. Select the startup screen.
