I have an 'at' command that runs a .bat command that runs Excel (2000 and
2002 SP-1), opening a workbook with a macro. Except that Excel hangs on
opening, apparently at the macro security dialog.

The .bat file runs fine when run from a user logon (as opposed to SYSTEM),
when I have the macro security level set to LOW.

How do I set the default macro security level for Excel?

TIA

You can't set it with code - that would defeat the purpose.

Logon as SYSTEM and set the security to low if that is what you want. The
setting should be retained for system I would think.

I can't figure out how to log on as SYSTEM.

However, Jeff Davis' suggestion worked...

Thanks, that worked fine...

Another possible solution would be to configure the 'at'
command to use a specific user account instead of SYSTEM.

If Win2k, you can do this with Control Panel, Scheduled
Tasks, Advanced Menu, and "AT Service Account".

XP is the same except the Scheduled Tasks folder is
under "Performance and Maintenance" in Control Panel.
