I am attempting to run an update query and receiving an error in the status bar "The action or event has been blocked by Disabled Mode".

EVERYONE IS RECOMMENDING THIS ARTICLE. The action or event has been blocked by Disabled Mode PLEASE READ THE BULLET POINTS BELOW. That article does NOT fix the issue

1) I have no messages asking to enable or anything like that. 2) I have checked and there is nothing labeled security warnings or anything like that on the External Data tab 3) I have checked the Access Option for Trust Center Settings "Show Message Bar" is checked. 4) I have googled anything else I can find. There was a reference to Database Tools tab, but there should be some "Show/Hide" section that doesn't exist and

I can't seem to find what they're asking about. Any help would be so appreciated.

Though I was working with the tech guys at my work and they were saying that it's not a trusted location. I answered my own question. I'm on a work computer, it's managed (naturally). So there is an un-editable list under Trusted Locations. When I moved my DB to one of those locations, all started working fine.

Hope this helps other people.

  • I referenced the linked article in my original post. I'm using 2013 and the original article doesn't fix my issue. – D. Steel Jan 17 '18 at 01:40
  • I don't see it referenced anywhere. That post has several answers. Have you tried them all? (Including moving your database to a trusted location) – Erik A Jan 17 '18 at 07:49
