My company has upgraded to XL2003, and I am forced to play 'catch up'. I
have only a few co-workers, so two
dedicated machines still run standalone with xl2k as a fallback, if needed.

Addins do not seem to be a problem, so far, but a few 'template' workbooks
(eg: an Order form, Fax form, etc)
are a problem.

They are not 'true' Templates or Forms, simply single-sheet books, with
code in the ThisWorkbook module.
When opened, I'm getting macro warning messages, and I can simply bypass the
code leaving me with a "useless" sheet.

My research suggests that a Certificate is required.
Can I create this myself, or must it be purchased?

If relevent, my co-workers Order/Fax is e-mailed to the intended recipient,
but Chip Pearson's code is 'borrowed'
to remove all code, before sending.

Can I resolve this easily and cheaply? Or perhaps I should consider moving
these 'templates' so that they become
options under the AddIns?

Advice much appreciated, please.

Regards.

Can you not just go to "Tools-Macro-Security" and lower the setting to medium?
This will trigger the "do you want to allow macro's" dialogue.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm using the medium setting at the moment, but a High
setting would be preferable. In addition, with a medium
setting the user can always disable macros.

If it's not too difficult to achieve, then I really would like
to find another way.

Regards and thanks.
