I am a contractor for a government agency.  They have implemented group
policy to disable macros and trusted locations.  I've tried a registry hack
and all sorts of things to by-pass the messages that come up to no avail.
The best that I can do is to train the user what the messages mean and what
to do.  I've also learned that since I'm using Access 2007, if I change the
extension to ACCDR (runtime) only one message appears.
