Access 2003 hyperlink security warning every time

I have a database with hyperlinks out to *.tif images stored on an external
hard drive (this is a home office).  The hyperlinks work, but every time I
click one, I get a message warning me about security, viruses, use a
trustworthy source, etc.  I click "ok", and it takes me to the image, but I
can't keep doing this for each one.  I tried setting the macro security to
low and that did not work.  I created my own digital certificate and added
that to the database in the visual basic editor, and that did not work.  The
certificate says the CA Root certificate is not trusted in VB, but it shows
as a trusted published in the database.  How can I fix this?  Also, if I have
another person who needs to use this on their machine, will the same fix
apply?  What if I need to copy this and send someone a copy of the db and
images?  Thank you.  Using XP prof, Office 2003, IE 6.0

Did the answers given to you when you posted these same questions in the
other newsgroup not work for you?  If you need further clarification you
should reply to that thread instead of starting another thread so that
readers don't duplicate efforts in trying to assist you.

I found the answer myself doing a search at Microsoft.  This worked.
