[AccessD] database is not digitally signed

This is a registry setting, so Sagekey could be changing.  When you use the
Sagekey installer the shortcut actually runs a little exe called
runaccess.exe which opens the runtime.  It takes care of setting the
registry so that if you run several versions of Access on the same computer
that the next time you open an access file directly it does not try to open
in the runtime. I would assume that if they do this they set the security
setting.

These are assumptions on my part based on a little knowledge of how the
Sagekey scripts work.

John,

  They must be supplying a digital certificate as part of the install.  I
have found nothing that will allow me to go in and set the security to low
(now that I say that, I wonder if it's a registry hack...hum).

Key Features  Digital Certificate not required -  Installations built using
our tools will not display the Macro Security Warning Message "The file may
not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer"
when run without a digital signature. 

It works for me.

  Note that there is no programmatic way to turn this off; the user must do
it through the Access UI.
