Hi,

In previous versions of Access I used RunApp from the drop down list of
macro options on the macros builder form.

In Office 2007 it seems to be missing although the docs imply it's there.
As it isn't for me I'm assuming that's because it's filtered out by nanny
Access 2007 as 'unsafe'.

I've made the database location a 'trusted' folder, clicked the nanny bar to
enable unsafe macros, tried running the database off a local drive and
RunApp is never there.

So, my question is, ideally running the Access database from a network
drive, how do I enable RunApp?  That is, make it visible in the drop down
list of macro options on the macro building screen?  Once it's visisible
there, I'm assuming it will work without further messing!

Thanks!

Pete
