I have a hyperlink field in a form. The links map to documents on a
local drive. When I attempt to open the doc via a link I get a MS
Access warning message about hyperlinks that I have to click through.
I want to hand off the database to a client. Is there a way to disable
the warning?

Thanks,

Maybe,
First, within Access, you must set Macro Security to Low.
Low = Don't Ask
Medium = Ask
High = Block

You access this through Tools, Macros, Security

Now, even if you do that and the database is on a network, it is possible
the network security could have a higher setting that what you select in
Access. The network security will override what is set in Access.
 
Klatuu,

Thanks, but that did not work. I'm guesing because the hyperlink is
not a macro. The warning message appears to come from Access itself,
not the network.

It doesn't matter where the hyperlink is called from, It will check the
Access settings,and the network settings and use the higher setting.
 
Two issues with this, Steve, first, that means you will have to perform this
routine on every computer your app is installed on, and second, without
testing, I don't know that it will supress network generated messages.

As to the solution I proposed, I don't know why it did not work for you,
that is how I resolved the issue at my location.
