How do I hide the warning box when clicking on a hyperlink?

The users of my database complain that they receive a dialog box for each
hyperlink stating, "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?". Is there a security setting to hide this box?

This is a setting in your registry that needs to be changed that affects all
your Office programs. Check out how to do it here

Here is the important part:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open dialog box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In Registry Editor, locate and then click one of the following
registry subkeys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common
Notes . You only have to modify one of these registry subkeys, not
both of them.
. If the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common registry
subkey does not exist, you may have to manually create it.

4. After you click the registry subkey, point to New on the Edit menu,
and then click Key.
5. Type Security, and then press ENTER to name the key.
6. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
7. Type DisableHyperlinkWarning, and then press ENTER to name the
entry.
8. In the right pane, right-click DisableHyperlinkWarning, and then
click Modify.
9. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, click Decimal, and then type 1
under Value data.

Note A value of 0 enables the hyperlink warning message, and a value
of 1 disables the warning message.
10. Click OK.
11. Quit Registry Editor.
