Solved Unable to mark NAS location trusted in Office
-
Customer has a bunch of Access files with macros.
Macros cannot be run because I cannot mark the shared folder as a trusted location.
File location:
\\192.168.1.11\DataMapped ask:\.Going into Microsoft Trust center, I cannot mark the location as trusted with either syntax.

@JaredBusch I had same problem recently. Solution was to use name instead of IP address.
I had to map folder as\\FILESERVER\Data -

I have a similar issue with a 3rd party developed application that uses an access database. The only way I could find to workaround was to add the trusted location through a registry edit. Here is the notes I have on what I did
3. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\ a. From here add another Key called Location X where X can be any number (different for each trusted location to be added; so for example you could use Location 3; doesn’t really matter as long as it is unique) b. Under that Key add the following values: i. AllowNetworkLocations REG_DWORD = 1 ii. AllowSubFolders REG_DWORD = 1 iii. Description REG_SZ (string) = “MS Access Trusted Location” iv. Path REG_SZ (string) = “C:\MSAccessTrustedLoc” (or whatever the path is to the trusted location.In our case the version of access being used was 2007 and I have to install the access 2007 runtime on each machine that runs the application. That also is where the 12.0 comes from in the registry key path. That may be different if the access version is not 2007.

Office 365 "always" up to date. but i'll go dig for that key.

@JaredBusch That is weird, both should have been allowed to do that.

I had to map folder as\\FILESERVER\Dataas I noted in the OP, that did not work.Looks like I have to do the same.

I was able to add
\\FileServer\Data\via the built in GUI, by clicking Add new location and then browsing to Network and clicking on the FileServer item, etc. This added the location like this. This works, as I can open the file and have no warning about disabled macros, but is a work around. The Mapped Drive should work also.
I then exported the key and tweaked it to add
K:\inLocation1.
No luck opening the file viaK:\does not work.
Even though it does show up in trust center after adding via the registry.
As a side note, I can not click on
K:\entry in the GUI either. I can click on the other two entries. -

By IP.
I assume it will work when I remap it with the DNS entry.

Had this same issue, had to map via dns name rather than ip address.
Microsoft claims this is a feature.

Except this worked until 2 weeks ago by IP. So fuck you Microsoft.
user is supposed to be back int he office Thursday, so I can test this.

@JaredBusch I get it, 100%.
I had a customers entire production shop (who actually has public IP address subnet for their LAN) who came to a complete halt calling in for assistance in sorting out what the hell happened.
Microsoft claimed this was a security feature. . .

Tested and it works all the time by hostname instead of IP.
