Access 2003 - hyperlink warning
We've just converted from 97 to 2003 and use a lot of hyperlinks to open
documents external to the database. How do I get Access 2003 to stop popping up the warning that hyperlinks can be dangerous...etc. We reduced the security setting to low which took care of the bothersome warnings about code and macros... Because too much information is better than not enough: We use the hyperlinks in our document control table. We provide all the information about the document and hyperlink to it. We use simple Access databases as "Launchpads" for people working on the shop floor to access documents they need. The launchpad is a table with a hyperlink field and a text field that allows them to find the document they want and click the hyperlink to open it. The document they are opening is external to the launchpad database and is either a microsoft office document in a folder or an Access report in another database. Thanks |

Access 2003 - hyperlink warning
Are you sure that the error message is from Access? We have had and solved
that problem many times, and it was always a problem with Windows. There's a built in defect in Windows where where anybody who wants updates to maintain basic functionality of Windows opens a vulnerability to Microsoft remotely (unnecessarily) tampering with other areas of their system without asking them. The fix has always been: Go to IE-Tools- Internet Options - Security - Local Intranet - Sites and uncheck "Automatically detect intranet network". Don't know why that fixes it, but it always has. |
