how do I change the macro security

[EdLeeYoung]

just upgraded from 2002 to 2003. Now every time I try to open my db it get a
dialog box telling me bad macros can hurt my computer...do I want to open or
cancel? I have no macros in my db.

How do I set my macro security to minimal so I don't get this message?

On the "Tools" menu, select "Macro" then "Security" then pick the "Low"
setting.

I don't have a "Security" option in the "Tools" menu under the heading of
"Macro"...not even grayed out. The options I do have are "Visual Basic
Editor" and "Run Macro...". I also have noting in Tools-->Security that looks
helpful.

It was mentioned in another newsgroup by Nikos Yanacopoulos that you can
change the Registry to set Security to Low by going to the branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security

and change the entry "Level" (REG_DWORD type) to 0x00000001(1)
