Macro won't go away!
 
I've deleted a macro from a workbook that didn't work correctly. It's the
only macro in the workbook. And I know it's gone because the macro list is
now empty. But whenever I open the file, I'm still confronted with the
message box that asks me whether I want to disable or enable the macros.
Can anyone tell me how to make this message go away?

thanks much
Arsenio

Press <Alt<F11 to go to VBA. Find your file and double click on it. You
will notice that although the macro has been deleted, the module which housed
the macro is still there. Click on File|Delete Module, answer No to the
question whether you want to export the macro, and it will be deleted.

When you record a macro, Excel creates a module in which the code is
stored. When you delete the macro, the module is not automatically
deleted. There are instructions here for finding and removing code:
