Set the app path as a trusted location in Package Solution Wizard when making your installer.

Code:
Additional Registry Keys

Root = CU
Key = Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\MyApp
Name = Path
Value = c:MyApp

Root = CU
Key = Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\MyApp
Name = AllowSubfolders
Value = #00000001

Or via VBA

Code:
Function TrustedLocation()

    Dim RegKey As String
    Dim RegObj
    Dim Value As String
    Dim WTRTL As Object
    
    
    RegKey = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\MyApp\Path"
    Value = "c:\MyApp"

    Set WTRTL = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    WTRTL.RegWrite RegKey, Value, "REG_SZ"

End Function

Code:
Function TrustedLocationAllowSubFolders()

    Dim RegKey As String
    Dim RegObj
    Dim Value As String
    Dim TLAS As Object
    
    
    RegKey = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\MyApp\AllowSubFolders"
    Value = "1"

    Set TLAS = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    TLAS.RegWrite RegKey, Value, "REG_DWORD"

End Function

Useful information, Dairy Farmer. Thank you for posting where these settings come from under the covers.

Your first example had one typo. Corrected in red font here:

Code:
Additional Registry Keys

Root = CU
Key = Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\MyApp
Name = Path
[B][COLOR=Red]Value = c:\MyApp[/COLOR][/B]

Root = CU
Key = Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\MyApp
Name = AllowSubfolders
Value = #00000001
 
Hi, I am assuming you add the above function(s) in a module within your application. How are they called if this is the case. What is a packaged solution?
I am having a problem with distributing a 2010 Access application to a user with a 2007 version and he seems to be encountering lot of problems trying to enable content as the application has quite a few Macros and some VBA code. Any ideas much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
