Potential Security Concern

C

CD Tom

I have a client that has installed office 2007, my application was developed
in Office XP. Now when he opens the program Access 2007 starts and he gets
the message "A Potential Security condern has been Identified etc" and when
he brings up some of the screens he get the ?Name in some of the fields and
the program. I thought that the Access runtime that I send with the install
would have the program run in Access 2002 which is the Access runtime I use.
Does anybody have an answer to this problem. Someone out there usually has a
good answer so I'm looking to you for HELP....

There are a number of security "enhancements" in Office 2003 and 2007. There
are also a number of security "enhancements" in Vista. It may very well be
that your app is using Access 2007. If so you have several choices. You can
make the changes to run on 2007, or you might change the extension on your
app and have the new extension associate with the 2002 runtime.

Thanks, that's exactly what I did. I thought about it during the night and
just changed the mde to be associated with the runtime Access that the
installation program installed and it worked fine. Thanks for the response.
