Hi,

I have a workbook that someone else created. When I open it up, I get a
message saying macros are disabled because the security level is high and the
macros are not signed. When I go to Tools | Macros, there are no macros
listed. I have also deleted all the VBA that I could. I have also removed
all of the references to MS Query that were originally used on the workbook
(although these were not very easy to find).

I am guessing that I have missed something and that is why I am getting the
message when I open the workbook. I was just wondering if there is a way
that I can forcibly strip a workbook of all macros, VBA, MS Query references,
etc. I just want a dumb workbook with just data.

Thanks,
Paul

Press Alt-F11 to bring of the VB Editor.
If you see a Module folder, then expand it. Right-click on each module
listed and select Remove Module. Also double-click on each sheet listed on
the left pane and remove any code that may display in the right pane.
Repeat for "This Workbook"

Sounds like the macro has been removed but the module it was in remains.
Open the Visual Basic Editor (Alt+F11) and see if there is a module attached
to the file. If so, right-click it and select Remove Module
