    Trusted location "Choose another location or specific folder"

    I have just installed a DB for a small business; It is split with the back-end tables sitting on a virtual server (accessed via a VPN) and the front end on the client PC/laptop. When ever they log in they get the Access warning “Macros could be harmful to your computer” I have tried to add the virtual drive to Microsoft Office Trusted Locations list but keep getting “ The path you have entered cannot be used as a Trusted Location for security reasons. Choose another location or specific folder.” Any ideas how to get round this or another what to stop the macro warning? Thanks

    Try adding the folder not the whole drive as a trusted location, or (and I don't normally recommend this) map the folder as a drive on the client machine.

    I would also check that the folder where the front end is located is also trusted.

    Not sure about virtual drives but in order to trust a folder on a network the 'allow trusted locations on my network' also needs to be ticked
