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

I think I understand. 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:
