What's the name of the workbook where you're going to store the macro?

Maybe you're recording into Personal.xls and personal.xls has been
"quarantined".

xl2002+ has the abililty to quarantine what it thinks are bad workbooks.

They can keep track of them so that it doesn't even try to open them.

If you look under Help|About MS Excel, you'll see a button called: "Disabled
Items...".

Check under there to see if it's marked not to open. You can enable it there,
too.

If the workbook is really bad, you may want to delete that copy and put a copy
of your backup version into your XLStart folder.

(If you don't have a backup, take the time now and create one.)

Can not Record Macro wrote:

Whenever I click on Tools, Record a Macro

I get an error message ... "Unable to Record "

Why is this happening? If I pull up a spreadsheet with a macro in it, I can
Record a new macro in that spreadsheet ... but I can not do it in a new
spreadsheet.

Some sort of security setting set somewhere???
