The standard way to approach this is as follows.
- create a worksheet with a message on explaining that for this workbook to
run it needs macros enabled, maybe even a few screenshots
- hide all other worksheets
- add some code in the Workbook_Open event that un hides the other sheets,
but hides that sheet.

What happens is that if they do not enable macros, they will only see the
warning sheet, telling them how to do it. If they enable macros,it will
startup the workbook as it should be.

Thanks, I'm trying to address a problem - If a user opens the file
without
enabling macros - it opens in design 'mode' (buttons and text boxes
inactive)
- I'd rather it output a message & drop out if not enabled because it's
useless without them.

Michael,
No.
It would be pretty pointless if virus code could just force Security to
low
and run undetected.
