The action or event has been blocked by Disabled Mode

ms-access, ms-access-2007

Solution

Try and see if this works:

- Click on 'External Data' tab

- There should be a Security Warning that states "Certain content in the database has been disabled"

- Click the 'Options' button

- Select 'Enable this content' and click the OK button

Problem

I am using Microsoft Access 2007 to move and massage some data between two SQL Servers. Yesterday everything was working correctly, I was able to run queries, update data, and delete data. Today I opened up the Access database to finish my data migration and am now receiving the following message when I try to run some update queries: The action or event has been blocked by Disabled Mode. Any ideas what this is talking about?
