Due to potential security threats and the nature of Access files, Microsoft Access requires specific permissions before it will open a database file and execute the applicable code. These processes are administered through the Trust Center. This tutorial will help you understand the Trust Center and why it's an important component of Access.

There are couple of things that we can do to handle this warning.…First, I can click on the X on the top-right to dismiss the warning.…Access will continue to let us work, but it won't run any macros or code modules.…This could prevent the database from functioning properly.…If I click the Enable Content button to trust this particular file, Access will…remember this file and it won't ask us again the next time we work with it;…
