I keep getting the following message: Data from this site is blocked to avoid potential security risks. If you trust this document, add the host to Privileged Locations (in enhanced security preferences) Where is this location. I can't find it. I've looked under "tools" and then "options" with no luck. Can someone please help.

Could be a message from your security software.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

No...it is a response from Firefox, not my security software which is Microsoft Security Essentials.

Any chance that document is a PDF file? That sounds like a warning message from Adobe Reader.

the-edmeister you are absolutely correct. It is a PDF file and it is a warning from Adobe reader. I'm feeling really blond at the moment. Unfortunately I still can't figure out how to fix it.  :-( Do I add the website that I am accessing the form from? If so I tried that and it still isn't working. I tried unclicking enhanced security and I also tried adding the website...neither allowed the form to load.
