I just converted a mdb file of Access 97 to Access 2003. When I open the
file, it comes up a security warning "Opening "file name" This file may not
be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer. Do you
want to open this file or cancel the operation? Can someone advise what it
is and how to prevent from recurrence.

Thanks,

Ray

It's Microsoft's new security warning - you can set your your Macro Security
setting to low from the tool bar menu in Access to prevent the messages.

Steve,

Thanks for you advice. There is no macro & vba in my database. It sounds a
false alarm rather than a true warning. Why does Microsoft make such a
mistake or useless advice/troublesome confusion to their users?

Simply put - I have no idea why they decided to do it. Well that's not
exactly true - I suppose they got sick and tired of everyone blaming them
for viruses so they put a blanket warning on it to cover them no matter
what - in other words don't open this unless you know what the heck you are
doing.
