hyperlink warning message

[Guest]

I am using a field called: TxtScannedLink. I have set the type to be a
hyperlink. This link is a relative path to a folder with scanned PDFs in it.
Every time this field is selected, I get a warning message about the safety
of hyperlinks. I want to suppress this warning message. How do I go about
doing that? My efforts thus far at crafting an event to handle this have
been fruitless. Any help would be appreciated. Below I have pasted a
version of the vb event I have been tinkering with:

Private Sub TxtScannedLink_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings (warningsoff)

End Sub

Search the Access newsgroups for "hyperlink warning message"?

I do thank you for you post, but I was hoping for something more substantive
than that. I have done some research into this matter, and I am not
interested in editing the registry to solve this problem. Largely, because I
cannot predict where in the office in which I work that this database will be
deployed. It could be deployed on one computer, or 12.

"More substantive" in what way? You asked a question, I gave you the
answer. You suppress the warning by editing the registry.

The fact that you need to deploy the solution to many PCs, does not, in
and of itself, make that solution inappropriate. You just create a
small .reg file, to be run on each PC. If you have an installation
program that installs your software on each PC, you could make that
progam run the .reg file. If you /do not/ have an installation program,
I assume you have a list of instructions for the user to follow (to
install your software on their PC). In that case, just modify those
instructions to include the running of the .reg file.

Also try reading Knowledge Base article # 829072. This describes the
registry edit, and an alternate method which must be done for each file type
you wish to link. Then, just pick your poison.
