Opening Access 2000 in Access 2003

I have written an application using Access 2000 and given it to a person
using Access 2003. When the application is started in Access 2003 a series
of security warnings are given with an option to turn off execution by the
"offending" features of the application. Even after the features are
turned off, and one is prompted to restart Access to implement the new
security preferences, a smaller security warning is still given each time
the application is opened. After all this the application runs
satisfactorily in Access 2003. I should point out that the application is
not infected by a virus of any kind.

Is this a known behaviour of Access 2003 and is there any way of turning off
the security warnings? I would appreciate any comments, explanations or
solutions that you can offer.

Thank you
 
This is the behavior of Access 2003 , but you should be able to turn off the
prompts manually:

Tools >>> Macro >>> Security

Set it to Low

Here is a reg file that you can run on each machine to change the registry:

REGEDIT4

; This will kill the Access 2003 security warnings

[[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines]
"SandBoxMode"=dword:00000002
