Excel 2003 sticks to the low macro security level
Hello!
Excel 2003 sp2 and sp3 do not remember the macro security level. Excel returns the level to low after any change of the level. How to prevent a macro to run when Excel 2003 sp2 and sp3 open a file with a macro? Best regards Dima |

Excel 2003 sticks to the low macro security level
That's one of the settings that's stored in the windows registry.
If it's not sticking, maybe you don't have permission to update the registry? Time to talk to the IT folks????? If you're opening the file manually, you can old the shift (left shift???) key down while you open the workbook. This won't stop macros in general, but it will stop the auto_open and workbook_open procedures from running. Dima wrote: Hello! Excel 2003 sp2 and sp3 do not remember the macro security level.

Excel 2003 sticks to the low macro security level
Thanks Dave for replying!
I talked to the system and domain administrators. They blame microsoft, do not know how to repair. I've found the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910817/en-us Should I delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\ Excel\Security to repair? I have the administrator rights on my Windows XP. Sincerely. "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... That's one of the settings that's stored in the windows registry.

Excel 2003 sticks to the low macro security level
If you found that branch in the registry, I wouldn't delete it.
I'd just change it what I wanted: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\E xcel\Security This is for Excel 2003. Should be something similar for other versions. The item is "Level". 1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high. ====== ps. I'm not a IT expert, but it sure sounds more like a problem with the permissions than excel/Microsoft.

This allows to set another than the low level, doesn't it? How to make Excel remember a setting in its user interface? Sincerely. "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

Excel 2003 sticks to the low macro security level
The problem is that you should be able to make that change through the user
interface and excel should remember it. It's quite unusual that you can't do this. I _think_ that in all the posts that describe this problem, it usually comes down to a permissions setting that the IT staff put on the users. That's why I think it's not excel's problem, it's you're IT staff's problem. Dima wrote: Thanks Dave for suggestion! This allows to set another than the low level, doesn't it?

Excel 2003 sticks to the low macro security level
Dave-
This may not be it for the OP but if the "Level" entry exists under HKLM: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\ Excel\Security Then it is sticky. It allows you to change it for the current session but the HKLM setting remains the default. I have no idea how the HKLM gets set initially though. -- Jim "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

I remember other posts that describe the same stickyness problem with the "trust access to Visual Basic project" (IIRC). Here's hoping that this fixes it.

Excel 2003 sticks to the low macro security level
Thanks for posting back.
I'm sure Jim appreciates the feedback, too. Dima wrote: Deleting the Level entry resolved the problem! Thanks Dave! "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... OP = Original Poster. For me, I don't have this key. You may want to rename it (SecurityX, maybe). Then test it out. If that fixes the problem, I'd delete the key. Dima wrote: Thanks Jim for replying! Should I delete the "Level" entry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security ? How is OP interpreted? Sincerely. "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... I hope the OP is still hanging around. I remember other posts that describe the same stickyness problem with the "trust access to Visual Basic project" (IIRC). Here's hoping that this fixes it. Jim Rech wrote: Dave- This may not be it for the OP but if the "Level" entry exists under HKLM: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\ Excel\Security Then it is sticky. It allows you to change it for the current session but the HKLM setting remains the default. I have no idea how the HKLM gets set initially though. -- Jim "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... I don't have another guess. Good luck. If you find the solution, please post back so that has it. Dima wrote: Thanks Dave for replying!
