Post Package Solution Wizard Question

[steve02a]

I can get through the process of making the package in Access 2007 so I can
deploy my DB to end-users - however, upon installing it on their machine
(including the 2007 runtimes), the DB never opens. I get a security notice
saying it's not possible to determine if this came from a safe
source..blah..blah. I click open, but the DB never opens. I have no macro's
in my DB...it's only a single table and single form - nothing too fancy here.
Security is blocking me from getting this deployment 100% done. Can someone
explain this to me. Thanks in advance.

What they have to do is to go to the mdb file, right-click and select
PROPERTIES. There should be a checkbox to uncheck which says something about
disabling because it is from a non-trusted source. Uncheck the box and it
should work.

Bob - sorry, your instructions did not solve my problem. In my mdb file
under properties (in any tab too), there is no checkbox anywhere related to
non-trusted sources. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

can you email the file to me (zipped of course) and I will see if I can spot
anything that might be hindering you. My email address would be bob at

Steve:

I just realized that you don't have a startup page defined in the Startup
options. For the runtime, you have to open the form for them because they
can't get to the database window. So, set your form as the form to open on
startup (look in Tools > Startup) and you should see it.
