hyperlink to a batch file

[Linda B]

I have a hyperlink set up in an Access database which
points to a batch file on the local machine. When I click
the hyperlink I get the security dialog box along the
lines of "are you sure this file is safe to run", and I
have to click OK to get the batch file to fire off.

For scripting purposes I need to be able to click this
hyperlink and have the batch file run without any
intermediary steps -- does anyone know if there is away
around the security box short of uninstalling Office or
its patches?

Thanks in advance.

Use Shell instead of a hyperlink.
