Two new versions of the Auto FE Updater are available.
To download the latest version click Version 1.81
However in this release I added the ability to check for updates. Please download Version 1.80, test it, copy it to your server and then see if the logic to check for updates works. Then click on the Check for Updates menu item and ensure the program downloads version 1.81 and that it works. Please email if this does or doesn't work. Or post a note on this blog entry. Note that I will not give out your email address to anyone else.
Enhancements
- Stop the user from seeing the Access 2007 Security Warning - Certain content in this database has been disabled.
Set Access 2007 Trusted Location=yes can now be specified in the INI file.
All Access 2007 trusted locations are stored in the registry under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\
The Auto FE Updater utility creates registry keys based on the name of the INI file and creates the recommended sub keys with the update date and description of the key for full traceability in the future.
Note that it is a common assumption that you must use Location0, Location1, etc as a sub key which is what Access 2007 creates. This is an assumption. Which I made as well so you're not the only one.
- My Documents can now be specified in the MainApps entry
- Check for updates to the Auto FE Updater program.
- Added a button to place the CMD launcher line into the clipboard. When I recently did some testing of the Place shortcut target line into clipboard the text didn’t insert well into Outlook. Actually Outlook deleted some double quotes for reasons known only to the Outlook product group. So using the CMD launcher line works much better.
- Minor bug fixes and better error messages
