    No need to worry. It's just a security measure to protect your access file from a potentially dangerous macro.

    If you trust the database and the macro, this is how you can enable the macro-

    1. Open your Access database.
    2. When the security message or pop-up appears, click on "enable content" or "enable macros".
    3. There may be a warning banner at the top of ms access. On that warning banner also, click on "enable content".

    Let me know if there is any error you're facing.

    Best Regards.

  • Add your database folder to the Trusted Locations. Search online for "Access trusted locations" for the steps.
