Distributing MS Access Application

Question

How can I distribute a MS Access application (database) in a professional way?

I will be using NSIS to create an installation package. I will be using a C# Application I created as a launcher for the access database file. But when I open the access file, I am presented with the yellow security bar at the top, which warns about active content. That is not professional.

Please help!

Answer 1

Ms Access allows you to disable macros security just for that databae. How?

Click the Microsoft Office Button and then click Access Options.

Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click Macro Settings.

There will be several options. You should click this one:

Enable all macros (not recommended, potentially dangerous code can run) Click this option to allow all macros to run.

After that you have to restart you ms access database.

The only con. about that is that you have to execute this process in every client computer. Because that setting depends on ms access instalation of the computer.

Hope it helps
