LouKur,

Are these 2 keys for different Office version or do they address different
things?
I am trying to find out if I could do without the first one.
If they were indeed for different Office version would there be any harm in
adding
both or should I determine the Excel version (which can be tricky with
different
installs on the same system) and add the key accordingly?

You have two add 2 registry keys, each getting 1 value. I hate using
RegEdit and am used to sending registry entries to lots of people as
software distributions. You can either follow the numerous steps in the
Microsoft article or you can build a ".reg" object and run it.
These are just text files with the extension ".reg".

I created "AllowActiveX.reg" using Wordpad. Below is what goes in
it:


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Common \Security]
"UFIControls"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VBA\Security]
"LoadControlsInForms"=dword:00000001


Save the object and double click on it. Windows will give you a
"Yes/No" box asking if you want to add the entries. You have to
click "Yes".

You do not have to reboot after. The message goes away as soon as the
two registry entries are added.
