Database Reference
In-Depth Information
6
Double-click the version of the
GardenCompany12
database that is identified as a
Microsoft Access ACCDE Database
. A somewhat scary security notice is displayed.
This security warning is displayed when you open an executable file that is from
an untrusted publisher or that is stored in an untrusted location.

Because you trust the source of this file (you!), click
Open
.

In the
Navigation
pane, right-click each object. Notice that the
Design View
com-
mand is not available. Neither is it available on the
Home
tab or the
View Shortcuts
toolbar, meaning that you cannot make any design changes to the forms and reports
in the
Garden Company
category.
TIP
If you change the Navigation pane category to All Access Objects, you can right-
click tables and display them in Design view. To prevent the possibility of changes
to table design in an .accde file, eliminate access to the Navigation pane as described
in “Controlling which features are available” in Chapter 11, “Make databases user
friendly,” and then create the file.
CLEAN UP
Close the ACCDE database, and if you want, delete it.
