I'm using Access 2003 with Windows 7. In opening a database Access displays
the question about "blocking unsafe expressions" upon startup. It then
advises that I need to download Jet 4.0 SP8. All Windows 7 and Office 2003
Updates have been obtained.

My product version is 4.00.9756.0 which is not on the list on the support
page for this service pack. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239114

So far I've had no issues with functionality. It is, at best, annoying. Is
there a way to fix this?
 
The easiest way is to go to:

Tools >>> Macros >>> Security

and set it to Low. This assumes that you are smart enough not to open
databases that you aren't sure of. React to any other prompts by accepting
"unsafe" anything. What they mean is code or macros which may be unsafe if
written by someone unscrupulous.
