One machine in my office runs Excel97 under Windows XP.
When I try to open a particular workbook I get this dialog box:
MS Visual Basic
Permission to use object denied
This happens whether I open from a floppy or from the file copied onto the
desktop. The same file and floppy work on other computers.

Found a related thread here with a response from Tom Ogilvy who suggested
* removing any files in the xlStart directory (except for personal.xls)
-- Did this. No change.
* go into Tools=Addins, and uncheck any non-standard addin.
-- new workbook.
-- opened Tools/AddIns and immediately get "permission to remove object
denied " message, along with "Opening FUNCRES" message in the
status
bar. Clicking OK allows AddIns list to be displayed.
-- unchecking any of following add-ins and closing Tools/AddIns
produces
same results.
Conditional Sum Wizard
File Conversion Wizard
Lookup Wizard
Web form Wizard

Other suggestions?
Thanks
