Deleting the Level entry resolved the problem!
Thanks Dave!

OP = Original Poster.

For me, I don't have this key.

You may want to rename it (SecurityX, maybe). Then test it out.

If that fixes the problem, I'd delete the key.

Should I delete the "Level" entry under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security ?
How is OP interpreted?
Sincerely.

I hope the OP is still hanging around.

I remember other posts that describe the same stickyness problem with
the
"trust
access to Visual Basic project" (IIRC).

Here's hoping that this fixes it.

Dave-

This may not be it for the OP but if the "Level" entry exists under
HKLM:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\ Excel\Security

Then it is sticky. It allows you to change it for the current session
but
the HKLM setting remains the default. I have no idea how the HKLM
gets
set
initially though.

I don't have another guess.

Good luck. If you find the solution, please post back so that
google
has
it.

Our IT staff says that they did not put any LOCAL restrictions on
me.
I

The problem is that you should be able to make that change
through
the
user
interface and excel should remember it. It's quite unusual that
you
can't
do
this.

I _think_ that in all the posts that describe this problem, it
usually
comes
down to a permissions setting that the IT staff put on the users.
That's
why I
think it's not excel's problem, it's you're IT staff's problem.

This allows to set another than the low level, doesn't it? How
to
make
Excel
remember a setting in its user interface?
Sincerely.

If you found that branch in the registry, I wouldn't delete
it.

I'd just change it what I wanted:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\E xcel\Security

This is for Excel 2003. Should be something similar for other
versions.

The item is "Level".
1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high.

======
ps. I'm not a IT expert, but it sure sounds more like a
problem
with
the
permissions than excel/Microsoft.

I talked to the system and domain administrators. They blame

do
not know how to repair.
I've found the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910817/en-us
Should I delete the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\ Excel\Security
to
repair?
I have the administrator rights on my Windows XP.

That's one of the settings that's stored in the windows
registry.

If it's not sticking, maybe you don't have permission to
update
the
registry?

Time to talk to the IT folks?????

If you're opening the file manually, you can old the shift
(left
shift???)
key
down while you open the workbook.

This won't stop macros in general, but it will stop the
auto_open
and
workbook_open procedures from running.

Hello!
Excel 2003 sp2 and sp3 do not remember the macro security
level.
Excel
returns the level to low after any change of the level.
How to prevent a macro to run when Excel 2003 sp2 and sp3
open a
file
with a
macro?
