I created a macro in Microsoft Access 365 and I am blocked by Microsoft Access from using this macro and I can't find a way to unblock macros in access. I have tried the recommendations to unblock macros provided in Microsoft help but nothing works or I get a message that I can't unblock a specific file, folder or drive. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I am working exclusively on my personal computer. Nothing affiliated with work. I do have my own internal network and am working from a NAS server. I have two other computers also running Windows 11 using Access and have no issues of they same macros being blocked by them.

Are all of the Access files on the same drive/in the same folder location?

Typically macro security is set at File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Macro Settings.
Of course you already have your app in a Trusted Location (see same dialog).
Are you trying to do this from work or your personal computer? If you're trying this from work, maybe your IT department have some restrictions implemented for security.

So, just to isolate the problem. If you're using a NAS, can you try moving the files to your local machine and see if the problem persist?
