Security setting on Low, but Macro will not run?
 

Hi all,

I'm a bit puzzled. I wrote an app for some users (which runs just fin
and dandy on the box I developed it on), but it will not execute certai
code on other boxes.

Their security settings are set to Low and the excel file itself load
just fine. But when they hit certain command buttons within the app,
get a windows error "Security Settings do not allow this macro to run."

Is this a Windows setting thing (we run Windows 2000 w/ service pack
if that matters) where windows itself has been set to block macros fro
running, or is this an excel thing that I just don't understand?

And again, the app runs just fine on the box I wrote it on. It's jus
everywhere else that has this issue (rather embarassing when I wa
demoing it....

When you changed that security level to low, did you close and reopen the
workbook with macros?

This setting isn't retroactive.

Yes.

All machines that need to run the app have had their security setting
changed to low and yet the problem persists even after a restart of th
program AND a restart of the machine

ok, figured out the error message was part of an error handling script I
included and forgot about. commenting out that script I still error out
in this app on all machines except the machine I wrote it on.

I have narrowed down the error to this line of code:

Dim TempForm as Object
Set TempForm = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBCompenents.Add(3)

Here of course I'm trying to add a form at runtime. But why would the
above code not work on anymachine but the one I've developed the app
on??

Ouka,
Is the project protected/signed ?

No, no protections are enabled.

The problem seems to be this line:

Set TempForm = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Add(3)

A copy/paste of this line in it's own procedure will open a userform
upon execution on my dev box, but returns a 1004 error on other boxes.

If this line works on the dev box but not on others, mayhap there is a
reference that is enabled on my box that others don't have??

Have you checked
"Trust Access To Visual Basic Project"
via Macros, Security, "Trusted Sources"
