Warn about installed templates and add-ins

Security  Because macros can contain viruses, be careful about running them. Take the following precautions: run up-to-date antivirus software on your computer; set your macro security level to high; clear the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box; use digital signatures; maintain a list of trusted publishers.

Depending on your macro security setting, when you open a macro, you will receive a warning and the macro may be disabled for installed templates and add-ins (including wizards).

1. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Security.

2. Click the Trusted Publishers tab.
3. Clear the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box.

Note  Clearing the Trust all installed add-ins and templates check box will prevent the wizards installed by Access from functioning if macro security is set to High. Users will be prompted to enable macros if macro security is set to Medium.
