Thanks Ossie, thanks Jim. I made it work by removing the password.
It looks like the Excel upgrade with Windows XP doesn't appreciate
passwords. I tried with Vista and it works fine...

Hi Johan,

I experienced a similar problem when I upgraded. I think it might have been
because I saved the workbook as xlsm before changing my security setting.
Even after changing the security setting, I tried resaving as xlsm with the
same filename but to no avail. Eventually I saved it to another new filename
and closed the workbook and reopened it and hey presto it worked.

I haven't bothered with any extensive testing of the above because I didn't
experience the problems with any of the other files that I converted after
changing my security settings. I have just assumed that the file was
inheriting the security setting when it was initially saved and I couldn't
get rid of that inherited setting unless I changed the filename and the
problem was solved by saving after setting the security.

I'll be interested to hear if it fixes the your problem.

Regards,

OssieMac

One of my main Excel 2003 spreadsheet runs on macros I wrote. I installed
Excel 2007 today, loaded the file.xls on it, the macros run. After saving in
file.xlsm and reloading, the macros don't run anymore. The message is:
"Because of your security settings, macros have been disabled. To run
macros, you need to reopen this workbook, and choose to enable macros."
I have set my macros at the lowest level in the 2007 trust center, as well
as in Excel 2003. When I reopen the workbook, there is no option to "enable
macros"
Thanks for your help.
