How to save & send Excel files without macros.
 

When I send files (2003) my macros go with them. I don't want to have to
always 'cut and paste special' to get rid of them. Surely there is a way to
turn them off once I have run them or to save without active macros?

Thank you for any help.

If you install my mail add-in you have a option to delete code and copy as values

Seriously, that's it? There is no setting I can set? No way to save without
active macros?

Thank you for your solution, but shouldn't there be an internal way to do
this?

Not easy

Start here

And

In Excel 2007 you can save a file with macros as xlsx, then your macros are gone.
But there is no option like this in 2003

Why not use the personal macro workbook to store your code, you can
still use the macros, but that way the other workbooks you save won't
have them.

I am using my personal macro workbook (didn't have that back when I used
macros a lot). Still, when I save & send, the macros go with it. Got to be
a control for that somewhere? I tried closing the workbook "personal" that
opens automatically when i open excel.

If you are running macros only from Personal.xls, your workbooks should not
have macros.

Sounds like your workbooks have their own set of macros or event codes.
