Default Macro security

I noticed that in A2002 the macro security option was removed by letting
Access follow these settings from IE. In A2003 the macro security settings
are back.

One of my clients uses A2003 and this is what happens (security level is set
to middle):
1. When he opens Access and then an mde, everything goes as expected.
2. When he opens an mde directly, Access says something like it can't verify
the author and the user has to press OK to continue. This happens everytime
the user opens any app in that way.

Regarding point 2, is it possible to prevent this question from popping up?

Thank you,
John

My simple solution in these cases to simply to set macro secuirty to low,
and at that point you'll elimonate any and all prompts. I have to admit in
most cases this solution also elimonates most problems the user will
encounter due to some code not running Based on your security settings.
