Understanding How Databases Behave When Trusted and Untrusted
Unless a database has a digital signature or is located in a trusted location, Access disables several features. The following is a list of differences between a trusted and untrusted database:
- All VBA code is disabled.
- All unsafe expressions (certain formulas and functions in the database) are disabled.
- Unsafe actions in all macros are disabled. Unsafe actions include any functionality that could potentially modify the database or gain access to resources outside the database.
- Action queries, data definition language (DDL) queries, and SQL pass-through queries are all disabled.
- All ActiveX controls are disabled.
