Why does Office 2003 block macros created in early versions?

I have created several Access Data Base Systems with Office 2000 and others
with Office 2002 and now when I go to open them with Office 2003 I get the
following screen: "Security Warning" This file may contain............
and may be unsafe. etc.etc.etc. If I am the author of the file and/or I
choose to open it why can't I get rid of this
screen?????????????????????????????????? Also when I open an old file in
Word 2003 it disables any Macros in the document even if I was the author.
Why can't this 1,2,3 extra screen message be eliminated, overridden or just
skipped once I am the registered author.

That warning, is just a warning, it does not actually block you to run any
Access database application, which contains VBA code (most well develoed
Access applications do have VBA code). What MS does here, is simply saying
"Do whatever at your own risk, do not blame me if something wrong. Or do not
use Access."

As a user, if you know, the Access applications with macro code are made by
known developers (or by you) and you agree to take the consiquence of the
code running, then you can lower the security level to run them.

Go to menu "Tools->Macro->Security" to lower the security level from high
(default) to medium or low (your choice, do not blame me or MS for any
possible damage).
