version 2003 Hyperlink MS security warning

[jquadsupport]

Hello,

Does anyone know a workaround to prevent that annoying Microsoft security
message from coming up when clicking on a hyperlink in Access? We're using
hyperlinks to open a user help file in internet explorer. We want to still be
able to use this file but without the security message coming up. Does anyone
know if it is possible to bring this help file up in internet explorer using
VBA instead of the hyperlink feature, and still have it go to the correct
index location in the file?

Any suggestions are welcome,

Thanks!
Blaine

Hi Blaine,

Thanks for your post.

From your descriptions, I understood when you click a hyperlink in the
Access, it will be a prompt Dialog box about IE security settings. If I
have misunderstood your concern, please feel free to point it out.

Based on my knowledge, this behavior is due to your security settings in
IE. You could add your localhost to trusted sites to avoid this dialog.
However, I am not sure whether we could do this change with VBA. You are
recommanded to post your questions in the microsoft.public.internetexplorer
with detailed descriptions.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
assistance!


Sincerely yours,

Perhaps your problem is that

"Intranet site is identified as an Internet site when you use an FQDN or an
IP address"


I am unable to find that site by using the search.microsoft.com, so I'll
give you a reference:

(I don't know what the problem is with search.microsoft.com: it appears to
be worthless.)

Hey there,

Not sure if you have had any resolution on this yet, but I ran into the same
problem when using hyperlinks.

I had a command button with a hyperlink address on it and when it was about
to open my link, it gave me a warning message about harmful links etc..

To fix this problem, instead of using the hyperlink property, I used the
FollowHyperlink method and it worked great!

All I did was use the command button's OnClick event as follows:

Private Sub cmdHyperlink_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink "Hyperlink Address", , True
End Sub

Hope that helps!!
