    Backend password security warning

    I have a database that will be used by many users. It is split into a backend and a front end. The backend is connected to a Power BI model and therefore I cannot use the built in password feature in Access. I made a form that acts as a login dialog if the user needs to access the backend that prompts them for a password. The problem I have encountered is that when a user opens the backend for the first time, a security warning banner comes up that says "Security Warning: some active content has been disabled." and has a button that says enable content. This warning allows the user to bypass the login form by using the close button on the form. Is there a way to stop this warning from coming up for all my users? Is there a way to design and place the form such that the warning won't allow the user to bypass the login form.



    I hope my description made sense. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!!

    The form can't close without the correct password.
    cancel will Run docmd.Quit to exit access.
    in event UNLOAD, if password is correct then open the next form.
