Numerous users were updated to Access (and Office) 2003. A few of these users
now get a message about Hyperlinks when opening one of the databases. The
database does not have any hyperlinks in it. It is a split database where the
FE in on their PC and the backend is on a server. Each user has the same
version of the FE. I've read that security settings do not affect this
message. How can I turn it off for these few users?
 
You need to change the registry on each computer. Here is the whole article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=829072

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open dialog box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In Registry Editor, locate and then click one of the following
registry subkeys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common
Notes . You only have to modify one of these registry subkeys, not
both of them.
. If the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common registry
subkey does not exist, you may have to manually create it.

4. After you click the registry subkey, point to New on the Edit menu,
and then click Key.
5. Type Security, and then press ENTER to name the key.
6. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
7. Type DisableHyperlinkWarning, and then press ENTER to name the
entry.
8. In the right pane, right-click DisableHyperlinkWarning, and then
click Modify.
9. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, click Decimal, and then type 1
under Value data.

Note A value of 0 enables the hyperlink warning message, and a value
of 1 disables the warning message.
10. Click OK.
11. Quit Registry Editor.

I have hyperlinks to tiff images on a file server. When I associate the
"tiff" extension with MS Office Document Imaging, I get no warning message...
When "tiff" is associated with MS Office Picture Manager I do get the warning
message. Of course Picture Manager is the program that I would rather use.
Any other suggestions?
