I think it's the Access security level that gets changed in that Macro-->Security dialog box. The first two machines at first opened the app in what the user call a 'safe mode' (read only of the tables;couldn't update any records), and after adjusting the security level, Access allowed read/write. On the third machine, however, there is not security option in the Macro sub-menu. I suspect, and told him that he probably needs to do a custom re-install of Access adding the feature that controls this. But that was just a guess. When I install Office, I always just install everything (run all from my computer). Doesn't take up much more space. I started doing that after several annoying updates for features that didn't get included in the typical install. Rocky Susan Harkins wrote: > You're getting the warning without the option to change?
