Access 2010 Trust Question

Hello,

I'm very new to Access 2010 although I'm familiar with Access 2K.

I've just developed my first Access 2010 applicaiton and provided it to a user who is using the 2010 runtime.
When the user tries to open the applicaiton, they get a blank screen.

I suspect its a trust problem, but being new to 2010 I'm not sure how the user sets up an application to run for the first time.
In order for me to run my own application, I had to go into my software and set up the dirrectory as trusted.
Since the user only has the runtime, we don't know where to go or what to do.

Can you help?

Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure if I have solved this problem yet, but I did realize several things that I did wrong when I read the related KB article provided by MX.

The article states you should use the Save and Publish option of Access 2010 which I did not know about.  I actually used the save option available when in design mode, and I also did not fix a compile error before sending the user a file, which I suspect is the real problem.

I also noticed that they moved the create accde file to the "Save and Publish" option which probably confused me - who took my cheese! :-)

I'm going to split the points and close this question and then open a new question if the problem still exists.  Since you both (MX and LSM) responded with the same solution within minutes of each other, I'm going to award 166 to each of you for the registry solution which I will save for future use, and 167 for the link to the KB article which helped me figure out what I did wrong!
