    Possible security problem

    As of today, when I open a file, I get the window "Microsoft Security Notice", "A potential security concern has been identified", It gives the file as 'c:\program files\microsoft office\office14\accwiz\acwztool.accde".



    There are several files in that location. My antivirus software didn't find anything wrong with any of the files.

    Does anyone know if I need those files?

    I believe that file contains the Access Wizards. What program gave you the "notice"?

    Now, on a form, I am trying to change the 'link master field' and 'link child field'. I get that warning each time I click in the property sheet.

    Strange...have you tried running MalwareBytes on your system yet? It is free.

    I have not tried that, but I will. I deleted that sub form and it has not happened since. Thanks for the help.

    I installed and ran MalwareBytes on the whole computer. It found nothing. I also scaned with my antivirus and found nothing. I am goint to take it that it is not a threat to my computer. It has not happened since I deleted the subform. Maybe it is over. Thanks for you help.
