I finally have my search form working the way I want it. I have now imported
it into the main database that I have been working on. Now the form does not
work. If I click on the Options on Security Warning tab and click enable
this content, the form works fine. How do I fix the database to always
accept this content for this particular form? I tired enabling and then
saving the file but I still have to click enable everytime I open the
database. I went to the help and followed the instructions for chaning the
security settings. But the instructions said to look for the active x
control setting on the page and I can't seem to find it. Can anyone please
help me.

Thanks

You can't enable content for a specific form, content is enabled or disabled
for the whole file. To avoid being prompted to enable content each time,
place the file in a trusted location. If you're not sure how to specify
trusted locations, please post back stating the version of Access you're
using, as the answer will be different depending on whether you're using
Access 2007 or an earlier version.
 
Thanks for the response. I do want to place it in a trusted location. I am
using 2007, but a little unsure on how to do this.

Well, click the round Office logo button in the upper left corner of the
Access window. Choose Access Options. Choose Trust Center. Choose Trust
Center Settings. You'll see a list of any existing trusted locations on your
PC, and an Add new location button you can click to add another folder to
your trusted locations. You can either move the file into an existing
trusted location, or add the folder the file is in as a new trusted
location.

FYI, Access 2007 is the only version that requires the database's folder
to
be declared a "trusted location."

Oops. Yes of course, you're right.
