Access 2003 Macro warnings

[Ray Valenti]

After installing Access 2003 over 2002 I am always warned by the security
system about macro virus and must confirm each database open. The help
system mentions a Security option on the Tools>Macro pull down menu, but I
don't see any such option. Anyone experienced this?

Preventing macro security warnings

To stop displaying macro warnings, change the security level to Low on the
Security Level tab (on the Tools menu, point to Macro, and click Security).
To avoid a macro virus infection on your computer, change the security level
to Low only if you are running specialized antivirus software that can check
documents for macro viruses, and you are sure all the macros you use are
from trusted sources.

You need to reset your menu or add the menu security menu. Right-click the
menu and select customize.

Paul,

The Security item was available from the commands list, don't know why it
was not included after my install. The help seemed to indicate it would be
there.

Thanks,
Ray

Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, did it on purpose....they don't want
people setting it to low.
