How do I become trusted
We have just moved all our machines to Office 2007 and are having a few
problems as you might imagine. My biggest issue is with macros. A vast majority of our spreadsheets use macros, but the users keep either forgetting to select options then enable content or they say the options button doesnt appear. How can I have all our company files set so the macros are enabled without making all macros enables regardless where they come from? |

How can I have all our company files set so the macros are enabled without making all macros enables regardless where they come from? You can buy a digital certificate from Verisign or one of the other providers. It's not cheap. Even so, that won't give your macros any special trust level higher than those from other third parties who have certificates. I believe that most commercial Excel add-ins do. I think a better solution is to train your users better, though I recognize that's not a trivial task. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "If there's one thing I know, it's men.

Thanks Stan,

It would be easier to train monkies some times. :-) "Stan Brown" wrote: Tue, 8 Jan 2008 01:47:01 -0800 from Keith : My biggest issue is with macros.

You can also create your own digital signature using SelfCert, at
Application.Path & "\SelfCert.exe". It isn't from a trusted source, but it may be all you need. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel, 10 Years Pearson Software Consulting www.cpearson.com (email on the web site) "Keith" wrote in message ...
