Hi Francisco!
Long time no hear. I haven't had that issue. Are you using the icons the
install places or opening Access and then the application? As far as I
understand SageKey's scripts will eliminate that problem but you do have to
let it do its thing.

SageKey does post updates every now and again and they have a FAQ section on
their website.

In order to test this I just turned macro security to high with my Access
2003 full version. I installed an application which uses Wise/SageKey to
install Access 2003 runtime and shortcuts. I started the application and it
did not give me the error message. I then opened the same access app's file
but by opening (Access full version) and then selecting the file. this gave
me the error concerning the security setting.

So I'm guessing that your opening it via full Access or your shortcut icon
is not referencing the runtime version of access that SageKey installs.

If you want, I can help troubleshoot you through the install script. Contact
me off list.

Subject: [AccessD] database is not digitally signed

I used sagekey to install a demo copy of my own db for my end users, version
Access2003, I had been using the 2000 for years now w/o any problems.

Now the error that I am seeing is described here
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA011225981033.aspx#080

"Access cannot open the file due to security restrictions. Security settings
restrict access to the file because it is not digitally signed"

but what it does NOT tell you is how to set the macro security level to low
so that I CAN open the projects I was opening before I did the wise install
(sagekey) install.  I called Sagekey and the guy there was stunned and asked
me to re-install Access 2003... but that of course has not fixed anything...
:(
