Hello everyone,

I was hoping someone may be able to help.

I have a few hyperlinks on one of my forms and when I go to click on them,
the following message is appearing:

Opening "List of Files.doc"
Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data. To protect your
computer, click only those hyperlinks from trusted sources. Do you want to
continue?

When I press continue, it does what it should, but is there anyway of
stopping this warning pop up appearing in the first place?

Thanks very much

I am not 100% sure; but you might be able to turn this message off by going
to Tools -> Macro -> Security and setting the Security Level to Low (on EACH
computer!). If your users are only going to be running databases that you
are 100% sure will NOT have any potentially unsafe macros (i.e., db d/l from
internet or other possible source of malware), you can be reasonably sure
that this setting is ok to use. Otherwise, better safe than sorry.

Hope this is helpful!
