I am trying to install an accda add-in file. I get an error that i do not
have sufficient permissions to install. The security tab of the file says I
have complete control. How do I get sufficient permissions? This is on an
individual PC and not a network.

Did you log in as an administrator on the pc? Is the file in a trusted
folder and going to be installed in a trusted folder, or is it digitally
signed with a trusted digital signature?

Chris, you have my appreciation for the time, effort and help you have given
me.
Re your questions:
Did you log in as an administrator on the pc? Answer = Yes. This was
verified by clicking the start icon and then the upper right icon .... The
result showed "Stanley....Administrator". Also, I am the only defined user so
admin rights are automatically assigned to an 'only User'.

Is the file in a trusted folder and going to be installed in a trusted
folder? Answer = The file was put into the office C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12\ADDINS subfolder and this was made a trusted folder as
verified via by Access Options/Trust Center Settings/Trusted Locations. Also,
here the Add-ins has unchecked "Require Application Add-ins to be signed by
Trusted Publisher".

Is it digitally signed with a trusted digital signature? Answer = Review of
the file's properties doesn't show any indication of it being signed so I
deduce it isn't signed.

After verifying all of the above I still am told I do not have sufficient
security permissions to install add-ins.
It was interesting to note that when trying to install an addin Access
initially points to a hidden folder
"Stanley/appdata/roaming/microsoft/addins" but it is impossible to add this
folder to 'Trusted Folders' because it is hidden. I don't think this is the
problem but I really don't know.

If it will help the addin comes from
http://www.aadconsulting.com/freeaddins.html and is entitled 'Access 2007
UsysRibbons Reviewer Add-In'.

Thanks again.
