I urgently need the ability to be able to turn off the security preference while having other windows open and to be able to keep this window open while I work on the other windows.
The reason...
I agree with Julie that this would be helpful. I have exactly the same problem. It would be nice if a message 'Period Lock On' or 'Period Lock Off' could show on the Task Bar the way it used to show "Caps Lock On' for Word and similar programs.
Alternatively could a warning message be shown when closing the file. At the moment it tells you it is xxx days since back up. Perhaps it could warn 'Period Lock Off''.
