"In Excel 2007, if you password protect your workbooks and they contain
macros, there is no way to enable macros."

Not "no way". There is a registry entry that turns this security feature
off.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\E xcel\Security\ExcelBypassEncryptedMacroScan

set to 1.

remove the password

In Excel 2007, there are two different files formats. This is different
than
2003 and earlier versions in which there was only one file format. Excel
2007 has "xlsm" files that can contain VBA code and "xslx" files that do
not
allow VBA code. You must be sure that you are saving as an xslm file
format.

have
been disabled but the options don't allow me to enable it, my macro
option
is
set to allow all but the macro only works if i remove the password

When i attached a password to a file with a macro I get a security
warning
and I can't make the macro work unless i save the file with no
password.

Does anyone know a way to have both a macro and a password?
