You can stop it by setting your Access macro security setting to low, under:
Tools | Macro | Security

If you do not see the menu item, right click the menu, choose Customize, and
reset your menu.

You cannot prevent the same problem on your users' computers: just instruct
them to do the same.

If you are a corporate entity and don't mind paying the fees every year, you
can buy a certificate to digitially sign your database. Seems absurd.

Buying a certificate actually doesn't help very much. Unless users have
already elected to always trust applications signed with your certificate,
they'll see an almost identical dialog box. It says that "this program has
been signed by ... " etc. but it also displays the same message about "may
not be safe ..", etc. It's not really much more reassuring to most users
than the message they see if the code is not signed.
