Upgrading from Access 2002 SP3 to Access 2003... security warnings

[maura]

I just got a new laptop and the new software is Access 2003. My main database
was designed and built using Access 2002 SP3. When I open the database on my
new laptop, I get a "security warning... unsafe expressions are not
blocked"... then I get another warning "This file may contain code that was
intended to harm your computer... do you want to open this file or cancel?"

Am I going to run into problems using Access 2003? I am in the process of
starting to upgrade other computers in my office, but right now there are
still people utilizing the same database that have Access 2002 SP3... am I
going to have problems with different versions, should I reinstall 2002 on my
computer?

If it is ok to run both versions, how do I get around the security warnings
and not have to deal with them everytime I launch Access?

Thanks, m.

In Access 2003, choose Macro on the Tools menu.
Under Security, choose Low.
This puts in in the same position as previous versions.

Tools, Macro, Security and set it to low.
