Trusted Locations in Access or perhaps MS Office in general
Access 2007 on Vista and XP
Is there a way that Trusted Locations can be set so that when new FE (Front End) software is moved in for a user that the Trusted Locations do not get over written and require re-setting all over again. In my mind I'm thinking it would be nice for a user to be able to establish or set global trusted locations which declares to MicroSoft Office that all these folders ( and perhaps even subfolders) are to be trusted no matter what the application ...i.e. Access...Word..Excel ..etc. This sort of setting could override the display of the Security Warning. Our ongoing development has users getting new software every couple of weeks, and the security warnings are truly a continual annoyance. Thanks |

The Auto FE Updater can take of this for you. www.autofeupdater.com. As well as updating the FEs on the client systems when a new version is made available on the server. The only real way of doing this would be for the user to click on the Continue, or whatever exactly that message states, and then you write the registry key to the current path of the FE. All trusted locations are stored in the registry under: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Securit y\Trusted Locations\LocationN (where N is an integer) To see what the entries should look like, just add a trusted location through the Trust Center, then go to the registry to look at the key and see what it did. Note: you cannot trust a specific file, but only at the folder level, so you'll want to make sure that you're installing your app to a folder that contains only your application and not other stuff. You can add any key name you want under Trusted Locations\ instead of using LocationN. Such as Trusted Locations\My App or Trusted Locations\generated GUID Also see Trusted Locations http://www.accessribbon.de/en/?Trust...sted_Locations You can just set it in the Registry, as illustrated by Jeff Conrad at http://accessjunkie.com/faq_33.aspx Tony -- Tony Toews, Microsoft Access MVP Tony's Main MS Access pages - http://www.granite.ab.ca/accsmstr.htm Tony's Microsoft Access Blog - http://msmvps.com/blogs/access/ For a convenient utility to keep your users FEs and other files updated see http://www.autofeupdater.com/ Granite Fleet Manager http://www.granitefleet.com/ |
