On the ribbon Go to Database Tools under  Show Hide   make sure the Message bar is checked  turned on  Then click on the gray message bar  click database options  From there you can modify your security options   Just enable these types of content   You should be good to go after this

Try and see if this works    Click on  External Data  tab There should be a Security Warning that states  Certain content in the database has been disabled  Click the  Options  button Select  Enable this content  and click the OK button

I solved this with Access options   Go to the Office Button --  Access Options --  Trust Center --  Trust Center Settings Button --  Message Bar  In the right hand pane I selected the radio button  Show the message bar in all applications when content has been blocked    Closed Access  reopened the database and got the warning for blocked content again

Another issue is that your database may be in a  non-trusted  location  Go to the trust center settings and add your database location to the trusted locations list
