Access 2007 Runtime Trusted Locations

Hi,

I'm using a back-door method of establishing trusted locations for my
application since it runs under Access 2007 Runtime ... and I need to fiddle
with the registry to get this set up.

All seems to work ... half of the time.

I have two front-ends the user can execute.  One gets the Access 2007
Security warning when attempting to open the back-end, and the other
doesn't!  They use identical code to open the database.  Both run from the
same folder on the user's computer, and that folder is also set as a trusted
location.  The backend database for the application is in a network share.

I'm not getting an warning pointing to the front-end's folder --- just the
back-end's ... and only when executing one of the two front-ends !

I seem to be getting the security warning only when I use a network share.
The key name is "Path" and the key value is simply the network share
name --- such as \\xxxxx\folder\

I do not get the security warning when I change things around and have the
back-end on the user's computer (in a different folder than the front-ends,
but in a folder that I set as a trusted location).

So if I define a network share as a trusted location, do I need to set
something else in the registry??

Any help??

addendum ...

MS documentation on setting up trusted locations "the normal way" says
there's a setting called "Allow Trusted Locations not on the computer" that
you need to check if defining a network share in addition to defining the
share's location --- that's what was behind my initial message...
