Access 2007 Trusted Location on a Server

I wrote an Access 2007 program for a Company.
The Source Code is on one computer that has the full Access 2007 version.
I created a runtime and stored it on a Server for all other users to use.
I made the folder on the Server a Trusted Location.
Everyone who uses the runtime still gets the Security Message.
The User bought another version of Access 2007 and installed it on the Server.
I Trusted the folder again through the Server and the Security message still
comes up.
I checked the Registry Key and the Trusted Folder is set properly.
Does anyone have an idea why the runtime still produces the Security message?
Thank you

A point of clarification ...

A point of clarification ...

If all your users are hitting the same front-end (your MDE on a Server), you
run a much higher than necessary risk of corruption.

The standard scenario for a split application, whether using an MDE or not,
is to put the data on the Server, and to put a copy of the front-end ON EACH
DESKTOP.  That way, each user uses his/her own separate connection to the
data.

Speaking from experience, setting trusted locations on each user's PC and
running the front-end from there has run into no "trust" issues.

Good luck!

ggregg,Umm, are you saying the database is not split?

ggregg,

Umm, are you saying the database is not split?  You should only have the
back end on the Server and the front ends should be on your Users local
drive in a Trusted Location.  This goes for the Runtime or the full
version... is there a reason you did not set it up that way?

Thank you both for replying so fast.I did split the database.

Thank you both for replying so fast.

I did split the database.
The source code is on one computer and I linked it to the data on the Server
Then I created the run time and put it on the server.
All other users have a shortcut to the runtime on the server

The part I was missing was putting the runtime on each users computer.
There are about 12 other users. I update the program remotely, so do I need
to update every computer with the runtime each time I do an update?
Or is there an easier way to do this?

You only need to install the Access Runtime once on each user's computer. When
there is a new version of the frontend, you just need a new copy *of the
frontend mde file*; you do not need to reinstall the runtime msaccess.exe and
all its associated ddl files!

Gina has posted a link to a utility that makes this (pretty easy) task
downright painless.

Not entirely clear from your description, but every computer running the db
needs the location of its own copy of the frontend db setup as a trusted
location on that computer. The frontend should ideally be copied to each
local computer, but if it is running from a network location, that network
location needs to be trusted by the local computer. Each user should be
running a private copy of the frontend, not all sharing a single one, so
each computer would have a different trusted location if the frontend
continues to live on network locations.

You mentioned trusting the location through the Server. That would only
matter if Access was running on the server. Generally speaking, office
should not be installed on the server, unless it is a terminal server running
applications for multiple users.
