In you can sign an mdb or mde Front End or an accdb of accde package. In you can also sign an accdb or accde front end so I am told. Access runtime is free and allows Access databases to be run on any PC at zero cost. The lowest level of Digital Certificates involves creating a self-signed certificate. If you have a server it can generate a certificate verified by the server across your domain and installed on the workstations via Group Policy. I have posted extensively on this forum about this subject but can't find it right now.

Will try to track it down tomorrow. Too late tonight. If you care to design in VB. Here is the thread where I had gave the most detailed description of how to work with certificates. Awesome thanks for the info.

They worked for me and I'm glad helpful users like you are still contributing your knowledge to the forum: Just a reminder to person using the entries; remember to change the MS Access reference to suit your computer's file paths and access version, for example, if you are using like me then all the It worked fine for me after those changes and best of luck to all users. Lastly, I think we can make the forum a bit more exciting by posting a few photos or if possible a sample of our recent access projects, just for motivational purposes and to be able to share with others and have them see the true potential of access.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks jsnfrs, just be aware of the security risk see post 8 of having your whole "my documents" folder 'open' to run any DB. I would go with the option that galaxiom has suggested. I have not as yet even a year on but I have 'fixed' all the work PC's to avoid having hte security risk open like this.

Each user just has to press one more open button on each launch. But given they have it open most of the days its not much to ask. I have just had that issue of some pc's running winxp and a few running win7 - i have found issues with emailing pdf's save a report to pdf then email due to write priveliges on the folders.

I am sure changing the registry manually, is no different to whatever happens in Access when you set macro security to low. As long as you are careful what you install, it won't be a problem. EternalMyrtle I'm still alive. Local time Yesterday, Joined May 10, Messages I was having this problem with the security warning appearing when the application was launched in Runtime on some user machines but not all.

The program was being run in a trusted location. I solved it by enabling all macros in the trust center macro settings dialog box see attached picture. I'm not sure if this is the ideal solution and I still don't understand why it was necessary since the program and any accompanying macros were all being run out of a trusted location but it did solve the issue and is an easy fix. Local time Today, Joined Feb 28, Messages 22, Be aware that your network security folks can impose a domain-level group policy that prevents registry changes in some parts hives?

If you work for a government site, it may actually be illegal low-level felony or a stiff misdemeanor to change registry settings, particularly if your security wonks have tried to block it. Well the registry key is different for each Access version but there is a sample key for MS Access Explanation about the key:. You can change the numbers that represent the version you are executing. Other programs include default MS Access wizards, already have used other numbers. But if you want to make more than one path as a trusted location, then each location must end up with a different number.

You can place any path that you choose here. By copy and pasting the above coding into a text file and save it with a name such as RemoveSecurityWarning. But if you are unaware of what version of MS Access your client is using or what if you want this to work for multiple clients using various versions.

So, you can simply duplicate the key mentioned above for each version that has very little chance to have. Here is the list of office versions, so now you can easily know about your Access Version.

Access 97 version 8. A version prior to is not considered above, so we need to include these version numbers Here is the above registry key copied to include all four of these versions. Save this text in notepad with a name like RemoveSecurityWarning. If you are an Access Developer who is annoyed a lot with the security warning then these steps will surely give you the relief.

After then on the right pane, hit the Package Solution button. Place my Access app single file on the Windows file server 2.

It installs fine. There's no actual program that gets added to the Start menu. You're supposed to just double-click on an Access file and it will open using the runtime. Warning: it is not possible to determine that the content came from a trustworthy source. You should leave this content disabled unless the content provides critical functionality and you trust its source. Just an empty Access program.

No tables, queries, forms, etc. I read a few websites that give instructions on using the Microsoft CERT tool to create a self-signed certificate, but then it goes on to say that the certificate is ONLY valid on the machine on which it was generated, so that doesn't seem to do me any good.

Other sites explain a process where you activate the 'Developer' tab in the toolbar, but there's no Developer tab in Access , not even if I go to the Options page. It's as if Microsoft goes to great lengths to keep this a secret. I can't find any website or document that explains how to run an Access app on several computers, all on the same local network. Keep in mind I'm not looking to buy Microsoft Access for every workstation.

I thought the entire point of the Access runtime was precisely so you could run Access apps. Kelvin Sparks.
