Default enable diable macros

I regularly rollout VBA Excel programs within our company (100 - 1000 users)
Is there a way to turn off displaying the dialog box that ask user to
'disable or enable or macros. I want it always to default to "enable
macros".

thank you.

I can give you three suggestions:
1. Set security level in all workstations (tools/macros/security) to low,
which is a security risk
2. sign your macros with a certificate, trusted by all workstations in your
company
3. create a Self signed certificate (with the selfcert.exe tool provided by
MS) and then sign the macros. You will have to "trust" this suignature on all
workstations

That would rather defeat the object of having security ... so, no.

You and evey macro virus writer in the world. :) You can use a digital
signature and the user would only have to accept it once. See
