passwords incompatible with macros in 2007?
Just got RTM excel 2007.
Looks like there is no way to enable macros on a xslm file if it has a password on it. To recreate: Create a new workbook with a simple macro. Save it with a password. Open it. No way to run macros. (regardless of trust settings). Save it without a password. Open it. macros work as expected. |

Security everywhere... I feel so safe.<g There is a registry entry to
turn this off though. Create this key and set its value to 1: ExcelBypassEncryptedMacroScan under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\E xcel\Security -- Jim "Jim" wrote in message ...

OK,
In order to get this to work I had to: Right clicking in "Security" and choosing new DWORD value ExcelBypassEncryptedMacroScan (decimal value 1) It it's in trusted directory it will just run the macros. If it's in a non-trusted directory, it gives me the option. Thanks! |

Jim and Jim:
Thanks. Your posts were very helpful. However, I do not understand the logic of making it impossible tu run macros in password-protected workbooks unless a magic (undocumented) key is added to the registry. I see that I am not the only one who ran into this problem. "Jim Rech" wrote: Security everywhere... I feel so safe.<g There is a registry entry to turn this off though.
