Hyperlink security question

[Stockwell43]

Hello,

My manager is asking me if there is a way to disable this message from
popping up everytime she clicks on a hyperlink in access:

Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computers and data. Tp protect your
computer, click only those hyperlinks from trusted sources. Do you want to
continue? Yes No

Is this possible or is it one of those built in deals that came with 2003?

Thanks!!

We had a similar problem (for links that went across our network) and,
believe it or not, found that it was a Windows defect, basically it using
settings from Internet Explorer. (I suppose Microsoft would call that
defect a marketing strategy, embedding IE's tentacles everywhere so that even
if you don't use it you can't get rid of it.)

The fix was: Go to IE->Tools-> Internet Options -> Security -> Local
Intranet -> Sites and uncheck "Automatically detect intranet network"

wow dude. That's still a defect in MS Access, not Windows-- stop
trying to blame everyone on everything else.

I usually just
shell "Iexplore http://www.msnbc.com"
or
shell "firefox.exe http://www.msnbc.com"
