Hi Tom,

You're absolutely right. Those 2 folders are created when
you run Excel (as an admin) and record macros or create
ActiveX controls. Copy those 2 folders over to the user's
profile and that allows them to run it without Admin
privileges.

I hope this same method works for default profiles.

Thank you so much for your time.

the directory for these is created as a subdirectory off
the users temp
directory.

There are two subdirectories created

Excel8.0
vbe

Both contain .Exd files for me.

Thanks for your reply. I've looked at the article and
cannot find anything files or folders listed there. I've
ran a search for vbe*.* files and granted users modify
access, and also searched for excel*.* and did the same
thing. I still get the same error. Is there anything
else
you can think of?

Thanks.

OFF97: "Access Denied" Error Message When You Open a
Document That Contains
a Control

although this is for NT, Windows 2000 is just a newer
version of NT and
didn't exist when Excel 97 was released - so I think
this
should be
applicable.

Error Message is "Visual Basic: Permission to use

provide any workarounds or resolutions. This is
Excel 97

to
resolve this without granting normal users
