Macro: Security Level problem

hello fordraiders, no long no see

so where is this setting exactly?

It is on Macro security level "Med"

Tools/Macro/Security

rr
Hope you are well

Local DB?  Network db?  Are the databases in a security workgroup?

did you recently change to XP?

yep !

sorry

yes            no                     no

new db wiil not accept low level macro...

My guess is that the OS security policies have been set to:
a.  Deny access to changing macro security levels
b.  Re-establish this security policy in the event you are somehow allowed to change the macro security level.

You apparently are able to access the Tools, Macro, security options, and presumably apply an update.  Does it switch back when closing and re-opening the database right away, or after a log-off and log-on?

YES, YES

tricky one, hope it gets solved. Im off to bed. Flying to the States tomorrow

odd.  In my experience, when you open a DB and get the Macro security warning message, it lets you click about 2000 yes no or cancel buttons before letting you open a given db, but if you cannot permanently change the macro security level, then the option to do so is grayed out.

As you are obviously finding, the security level, when not working with workgroups, is at system/user level, not database level.

Thanks.  Hope you got a solution.
