Active Content

Larry Fisackerly

I built my CMS using the lessons in you courses. Nothing outside of that or that I made up on my own. Today I stated getting the following message when I use "Save As" to backup my database: "The active content in this file is blocked. Review your Trust Center settings or contact your IT administrator." I am a 1-man operation so I am the cook and bottle washer. How do I fix this?

Is this database saved in a Trusted Location?

	Larry Fisackerly OP @Reply 3 years ago
Yes, my database is in a "Trusted Location." I have been using the database every day for about 2 years. This message began appearing 2 days ago.

My database is in a trusted location. I can open the file use it close the file and save it. After I execute the save as command to back the file up to a backup disk, I get the message about content being blocked. Right now I just ignored that message and life goes on. I'm trying to figure out how to prevent that message from occurring in the first place. I do see in the trust center under message bar that you can select the option to never show information about blocked content. To me that is just a Band-Aid. I want to know how to prevent access from wanting to block active content in the first place. As I said earlier this is something that has just recently began occurring. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
