Default Enable Macros - Trust my file on my PC


How do I set my file so that Excel does not ask me to enable macro
every time I start up this workbook I am making? I cannot change th
security settings on my PC since this is a work computer and others us
it.

What I would like to do is set something in my file or some setting i
my securty so that this one file I am working on is trusted and I a
not constantly asked if I want to enable them or not. Thanks

The one file would have to be certified and you would have to accept the
certificate as trusted.

Bafa, how about making a digital certificate for the file? Here is a post by
Gord Dibben on the subject

You can create a digital certificate and use that on your VBAProject so only
that file with the certificate is allowed to be opened with no warning.


You can get to SelfCert either of these ways........


1. StartProgramsMicrosoft OfficeTools"Digital Certificate for VBA
Projects"


2. Open Windows Explorer and drill down to your Office folder. Find
SelfCert.exe and run it.


This certificate is good only on your computer but can be used for more than
one file.

Once the certificate has been created and with your file open, go to the
VBEditor and select your VBAproject/file.

ToolsDigital SignatureChoose. Select the Certificate you just created.

OK your way out and save your file.

Next time you open this particular file you will not get the warning.
