[AccessD] 2007 disables app because of

I agree that changing the security level globally would be a bad feature.
But is there a way to do it just for the app that's running?

Rocky,

I would say that that's the case.  I thank that it really has to be a
conscious user choice to decrease the level of security for macros.
Having applications willy-nilly disabling it...well, it isn't the same as
turning off action query warnings, is it?

It just seems that it would look chancy to the user to disable a built-in
security feature just to run your application.  Would take some soothing
verbiage to reduce anxiety.
