VB Programming

New guy here looking for a little help.

I am using an access db to log test values from equipment we manufacture. We use to test the equipment and hand log the values.



I automated the process and the values are collected by a PLC and loaded into the db via a serial RS232 connection.

My db was working great a few months ago and not that I am getting ready to release to our production group the db stopped working.

It seems that all the VB calls stopped working. Comm port selection and button clicks. I enabled Macros and the VB started to work but my comm port gives an error:

"Because of security settings and current security policy, this control is disabled. To modify your policy and enable the db, use the message bar."

I am thinking some security policy has been pushed from the server.

Any thoughts out there? Using Access 07.

Thanks,

Mike

Have you allowed it as a trusted location yet?

Have you allowed it as a trusted location yet?

By "it" do you mean Access?
I have only added trusted locations on the network where the file is located to stop the pop up message in the message bar.

How do I add trusted locations?

I keep thinking it is related to a recent MS update since it worked fine not too long ago.

Thanks,

Mike

Another note: When I get the VB code to work, I get an error when ever the MSCOMM function is called.

Error 438 "Object doesn't support this property or method"

Don't know if this helps or not.

An update for anyone who may be pondering.
I did a system restore back to June and the db works fine.
Now to find out why.
