Access 2000 ADP

[Peter Crickman]

I have an Access Data Project that was originally developed in Access 2000.
When I open the ADP in Access 2003, I receive a security warning dialog
regarding malicious macro usage. I can click through this dialog and
another one that comes up afterwards and the application appears to operate
normally.

A number of questions:

1) How do you open an ADP in design mode in Access 2003?
2) Does the application need to be converted (similar to bringing an older
version of an Access MDB to a new version) in order to address the security
issue?
3) How does one reduce the security level settings? Do you need to be in
design mode to perform this action?
4) How does one use the Help features in Access 2003 without an Internet
connection?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

There is an option in Access 2003 to lower the security setting (or you can
also code-sign your database but that's another story). However, if you
have upgraded a project, it is possible that this setting is missing from
the menu. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=833219 for a correctif.

On the bottom of the help system panel there is a combo box. Select
Offline Help.
