There is no foolproof way, but a common approach is to have a dummy
sheet with a warning that macros must be enabled, and a WorkbookOpen event macro which will hide that sheet and reveal all the other sheets. A WorkbookClose event macro will hide all the other sheets and unhide the dummy sheet. So, if the file is opened without macros, then only the dummy sheet with the warning is visible, and the user can't do much with the file. The technique is described on Chip Pearson's site in more detail he http://www.cpearson.com/excel/EnableMacros.aspx Chip also has other ways of trying to ensure that macros are enabled. Hope this helps.
