No, this is a registry setting.

I don't distribute ANYTHING that requires anyone to run it under their own
retail Access installation. I'm hoping there is a way to have macro security
low only on my app, but not disturb any settings the user may have for any
other Access apps.

Using an external launcher to set AutomationSecurity property is the only method that
I know of other than using code signing. Now why MS allowed this "hole" is beyond
me.
