Hi Dave

Can someone plz give me guidance as to how to get this workbook back to
its "virgin" state (i.e., plain ol' workbook that won't trigger macro
alerts)? Normally I wouldn't bother, but because I am dealing with
governments, well, the current behavior is a real drag.

I expect the fastest way is to do a save-as to 2007's xlsx file
format.
BTW: if you want the tool Dave referred to, send me an email. Address
is on the bottom of each page of my website.
