Respected Sir,

we would like to inform you that our Microsoft Access is not working and has been blocked by your end. We have been using Microsoft Access continuously for 3 years without any problems, but now this issue has appeared. We have a Microsoft 365 Family subscription and have been using it for three years. Therefore, we request you to kindly resolve our problem, and we will be forever grateful to you.

    It seems that you are encountering an issue with Microsoft Access where active content is blocked. This typically happens when Access is configured to disable certain content for security reasons. To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:

    1. Enable Content for the Current Session:
      • When you open the database, look for a message bar at the top of the application. Click on Options and then select Enable this content. This will allow you to use the database for the current session.
    2. Move the Database to a Trusted Location:
      • Open Access and go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings.
      • Click on Trusted Locations and either add a new trusted location or note the existing paths. Move your Access database to one of these trusted locations to avoid the blocking issue in the future.
    3. Review Trust Center Settings:
      • In the Trust Center settings, ensure that the options related to macro settings and active content are configured to allow the content you need.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to contact your IT administrator for further assistance, as they may have implemented specific policies that restrict certain functionalities in Access.

    Are all of your Access apps/files in the same folder?
