I need to know how to disable all Access 2010 macro/security warnings for all users, and for both Access runtime and the full version
None of our many users have any use for Access except to run the in-house application I develop. I have several small in-house Access 2003 MDB or MDE applications that users have been running for years. I just deployed ten new computers, replete l with Office Pro (i.e. Access 2010), and users are now getting annying popup messages. In addition, newer computers having Access 2010 runtime are getting a new flavor of warning message (i.e. different from the Access 2003 macro warnings).
With Access 2003 runtime, there was the standad macro security warning, which I disabled at the all users level with this registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000001
Or, on 64-bit Windows 7 having 32-bit Access:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000001
I tried doing the parallel entry for Access 2010, but to no avail:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000001
There are two separate messages:
Access 2010 runtime: "A potential security concern has been identified...blah, blah, blah" I think this can be disabled PER USER by setting trusted locations, but this is ridiculous inside our LAN. Of course, I want the entire LAN to be trusted for all users of the computer so I can stick to programming instead of babysitting the fallout from changes in the development platform. I can handle a single registry entry to be applied to each new computer, but I am simply not prepared to have to re-implement a change for ever subsequent user of that computer.
Access 2010 full version: Startup macro halts, and I have to click Stop All Macros, then Enable Content, then Do you want to make this file a trusted document. If I answer in the affirmative after going through the first two arcane steps, I can successfully open the file without all the arcane notices the next time--but only for the current user. The steps must be repeated for the next user.
Having to explain all to users that my application is being held hostage to the latest & greatest security "protection" makes me look like an idiot; however, I am also the network administrator and really need to find a way to make all of this transparent to all users before they hit any of the messages above--whether on Access 2010 runtime or full version.
For the Access runtime message, there is this "fix"; however, it falls far short of the mark in that it applies only to the current user, and applying it to the cognate node in HKLM has no effect:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
"VBAWarnings"=dword:00000001
