Rocky,

I looked around on MSDN and saw that Microsoft recommends putting the
database in a "trusted folder".  Of course, you have to use the Trust Center
to define the "trusted folder" and then move the database to it!

I didn't find any programmatic way to do what you want...but then I didn't
search very long.  I was getting a little queasy reading Microsoft-speak
like this:

"You might take one look at the explanation in the previous section and
understandably say, "I do not want to do that every time I open a database."
Microsoft does not want you to do it either. They want to avoid problems
when you open Office documents that might contain dangerous content. To make
your life easier, the first thing you should do is put your database in a
trusted folder or subfolder."
