Whenever a user first uses a laptop they have not used before, Access will give them an error upon opening the database.

the error says something about security etc...
if someone could enter the actual error here that would be great...

To stop those errors from happening every time you open CCMDB.mdb, and to prevent malfunction, do the following:

  • Open CCMDB.mdb
    • Security Warning: Unsafe expressions are not blocked.
    • Do you want to block unsafe expressions?
  • Click "No" to ignore the error and open anyway.
  • Click Tools menu, Macro, change security to "Low", click OK.

While in here, for consistency, also:

  • set menus to always show all (Tools, Customize, Always show full menus)
