<< Not all jobs will cause these messages to appear from what I'm reading. >> Well, I just created a brand spanking new BLANK database...added ONE table with ONE record with TWO fields (lastname, firstname) ...saved the db and reopened it and I got the messages. So, I'm wondering what databases WON'T cause the messages? LOL I think I see why I'm so confused....I believe I actually already had the jet update before I opened a database in Access 2003 for the first time (I believe I installed it a while back when someone in this group recommended it...possibly you...thanks buddy LOL) ...I thought the jet update would get RID of the messages instead of CAUSE them...since the install doesn't tell you that it's already installed, I didn't realize this until I Reinstalled it again, thinking the jet would solve the problem. Now, I finally understand that the jet update IS the problem. I guess I'll just live with all the message boxes...I don't use Access enough to worry about four clicks....at least now I understand it so I can explain it *somewhat* to my students who may have this same experience. Thanks Greg...as usual, you were very helpful Linda F.

You are under pressure right now and reacting to unplanned, necessary, PITA work. Can't blame you! Not all jobs will cause these messages to appear from what I'm reading. As I read, I discovered something we can consider to be the 'skinny' on the topic at http://www.dbforums.com/t961725.html . I recommend taking a look at the following Q&A and take some reassurance. The issue is simple. Some queries can access the operating system and it's particularly offensive if someone builds an Office document to host on the web with Document Object Hosting with mailicious intent. That hosted document can effectively own the site visitor's system: ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
