I recently had to reinstall A2003 and Office SP2. I am running into
the unsafe expressions prompt and wish to turn it off.

First, about certificates: before my machine crash I had a digital
certificate created by selfcert that was referenced in many of
my .MDBs. Rather than regenerate the certificate reference now for all
of them, I have now answered a message box prompt with "always trust
that certificate." This works; I don't get the standard macro warning
msgbox prompt under medium macro security.

The thing is, from what I've read, there should now be no "unsafe
expressions" msgbox prompt either, since there's a certificate. But
I'm getting it, and it seems like the "Low macro security" setting is
the only way to stop it. Am I missing anything?

BTW, I've hit No on the sandbox prompt, assuming it would go away
forever. No joy with that, either.
 
Sorry not to cover everything on the first post. I created a new
certificate and assigned that. But I get the unsafe expressions box
still, unless macro security is low. This is all new since a machine
rebuild including [Office] Access 2003 and SP2, as it was fine for
years before. Maybe I have a different Jet than before? \windows
\system32\msjet40.dll is dated March 24, 2008 (a bad sign; my prior
installation was done in 2005). Its property says 5.1.2600.0

 
Does no one reproduce this, or does no one know how to stop the unsafe expressions prompt on Access 2003 as described in this thread?

Summary: I recently reinstalled 2003 and SP2, and now I am unable to eliminate the "Unsafe expressions are not blocked" nag unless I go to low macro security. Is that really the way it is? Or does jet version affect this? (Iam msjet400 and jet500 on XP SP2)
