How do I make a program executable in MS Access 2003?

[Guest]

I have a database for tracking my genealogical documents and would like to
make it executable so I don[t continue to get the question as to whether I
really want to open the file or not

Access databases are not programs and cannot be made into executables.

The user must have Microsoft Access installed (commercial or runtime
version) in order to use an Access database.

You can, however, open Access databases without any questions about
whether to open the file or not... what are you doing to get this
prompt???

Just a guess -- but I think he is talking about the security prompt when he
opens his database, if that is the case Its just a settings issue and I think
it's better to have the security a little high and have to confirm to open
the file each time.

If you really know the code in all the databases you open is safe, then open
access,
Go to Tools --> Macro --> Security --> Select Low (this will remove the
annoying prompt, and will allow any infested macro's to run on your machine)
