But they will need to do this every time they open the file. If this warning is due to the file being opened from a non-trusted location, the user will need to add the location to their trusted locations in the Access Options.
On the left menu, select Trusted Locations , then click Add new location Users should be careful about which locations are added as a trusted location. Rather than setting the whole Documents folder as a trusted location, it would be better to have a sub-folder or another dedicated folder, just for trusted Access databases. Folders like the Documents folder tend to be the default location for files. So it could end up with hundreds of files from many disparate sources — including files downloaded from the Internet.
So, setting a folder like this to be a trusted location carries a significantly higher risk than setting a smaller, sub-folder as a trusted location. You should also review the Access program specifications for other scalability information.
To learn more about Access specifications, see the article Access specifications. Network capacity If multiple users will need to use the application at the same time over a network, data corruption is more likely to occur if the data and logic are combined in one file. Moreover, if you combine the data and the logic in one Access file, you cannot optimize the network traffic that Access generates. If multiple users will simultaneously use your application over a network, you should separate the data and the logic, either by using two or more Access files, or by using a database server product for data and Access for application logic.
Choosing the correct Access database solution for your network environment is a critical step to making it successful. Use the following guidelines to help you make the best choice for your needs. If you only have a few users to share your Access database with, you can use a single database that each person opens and uses on a home network.
For more information, see File sharing over a network in Windows A LAN is an internal network that usually has excellent performance, but is limited to a small geographical area, such as a single room, building, or group of buildings. There are many possible configurations for a WAN, which covers an extensive geographical area. You may have multiple offices across a city connected to a public network, a leased line, or even satellites.
Warning Avoid using an Access split database in a WAN because performance can be slow and databases may become corrupt. RDS has several advantages:. No installation of Access or an Access database is required as users run the Remote Desktop RD client which is available on many devices. Data transfer is minimized between the client and the server because RD is a thin client that efficiently streams just the user interface. RemoteApp can run just a single program such as a turnkey application for vendors or frontline workers.
For more information, see Welcome to Remote Desktop Services. If all of your users will have Access installed on their computers, they can open and use the application as they would any Access database file. If some or all of your users will not have Access installed on their computers, you can also deploy the Access Runtime software to those users when you deploy your application. For more information, see Understand and download the Access Runtime. To lock down your solution, control navigation and startup, and set other important options, do the following:.
Decide how users navigate the user interface: use a default form, create a switchboard, use a navigation form, or use hyperlinks and command buttons. Set the default form that appears when you open an Access database. Create a navigation form. Customize the Navigation Pane. Show or hide object tabs. Featured Access Templates.
Create and use a switchboard. Create a custom ribbon in Access. Create custom menus and shortcut menus by using macros.
Use the custom toolbars and startup settings from earlier versions of Access. Add an Office background. Change the Office Theme. Add a custom title or icon to a database. Bypass startup options when you open a database. Create a macro that runs when you open a database. Command-line switches for Microsoft Office products. Set startup properties and options in code.
View or change the properties for an Office file. Change the Windows regional settings to modify the appearance of some data types. There may be additional options you want to control for your application solution. Strive to get the best performance out of your solution. Compact and repair the database. For more information, see Compact and repair a database. Backup the database so you have an original and safe copy of the original database. For more information, see Protect your data with backup and restore processes.
Use the Database Documenter to print the design characteristics of database objects. For more information, see Document and print your database design. Add a security certificate to the database. For more information, see Show trust by adding a digital signature and Decide whether to trust a database. If you do this, decide how you want to control the Message Bar in your database.
For more information, see Enable or disable security alerts on the Message Bar. Thanks again for all the reply's, My access database has been compiled as a MDE file. It allows me to design new queries but will not allow me to design any reports or even modify any reports. So im guessing that its locked me out, is there any way of fixing this? BirdMan, you need to go into the code module for any form in your app, select Debug from the Menu, then select Compile xxx , wher xxx is the name of the database.
Access will then tell you about any problems it finds anywhere in the database , so that you can fix them. After repeating this until it compiles without errors, you can go back as you did previously and convert to an MDE file. You've been at this long enough to know, Bird, but I'll state it for newbies who may come here later on; you have to store the MDB file in a safe place, because any modifications you make later will have to be done with the MDB file. An MDE file cannpt be modified!
Longevity is not a guarantee of knowledge. Thank you for the answer. I guess I've orphaned some event procedures when I deleted controls, so it won't compile. Post Reply. How do I add a record to an MS Access database. NET Framework.

References to Outlook and other Office components will then automatically be adjusted even in ACCDE if the solution is opened in a higher version. Early binding gives you the distinct advantage of intellisense and syntax checking at compile time. While I agree one should use the lowest version the Users have to develop in. And I also see your point about intellisense, however, I have seen cases where the preset Reference causing an issue if the User had a different version of Office installed.
