Narrative:

During takeoff, we got a takeoff warning horn. After aborting the takeoff, we found the elevator trim was right on the border of the takeoff range. On the taxiway we moved the trim into range and ran up the engines and no horn went off. We taxied back to the runway with no corrective action taken.
