Warning Message Following Hyperlink

[Chaplain Doug]

Access 2003, Windows XP. In my form I have a button that
opens a PDF help file as follows:

Application.FollowHyperlink "Help.pdf", , True

When this is executed I get a warning dialog that says:Opening "Help.pdf"

Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data. To
protect your computer, click only those hyperlinks from
trusted sources. Do you want to continue?HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS WARNING MESSAGE?

You can turn this off by making a small registry edit. The following KB
article explains how to do it:

Is there another way to programmatically open a PDF file
other than using an "Application.FollowHyperlink"?

In an earlier thread Dirk Goldgar suggested this workaround - you can call
the ShellExecute API, using code like that posted
on the Access Web at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0018.htm

Perhaps that will work for you.
