Unable to Turn off Sandbox mode

I am getting the standard security warnings when I open any of my Access 2003
database. So I went into the Macro/Security option and turned the security
warnings to low. Now when I reload the database its like I did nothing at
all; the warnings are back and the setting is back to medium.

I thought that I could get around this by editing the sandbox option
directly in the registry at
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Jet/4.0/Engines/SandBoxMode however this seems to not
have worked either. The registry entry now has a value of 0. but the security
warning still shows up and the setting is back to medium (with the reg entry
at 0).

Is this what we would call a "feature" or is there a patch or something
somewhere to correct this?

Right I thought that too. However when I briefly upgraded from 2003 to 2007
the problem was solved and I was able to permanently turn off the security
warnings. Plus the registry entry never changes back from 0 only the setting
in Access changes.

Also I noticed if I deleted the SandBoxMode registry entry it would be
recreated next time I loaded access with a value of 2. This leads me to
beleive that I was changing the correct entry initially and that the problem
is in Access not the group policy settings.

thanks,
TJ
