I was getting a constant "Allow this application to make changes?" message when opening ANY specific access databases, i.e. the shortcut telling Access to open FE_XYZ. This thing has been annoying me since I started running Windows 7 and pinning specific databases on the task bar. Today I found the answer. Access.exe (in Program files (x86) ) has a property called "run as administrator" which was checked, how I do not know. I unchecked that and voila, no more harassment when opening a database. I have the same issue opening spreadsheets etc. I suspect the answer will be the same, unchecking that property for Excel.exe. -- John W.
