modifying a macro with a macro
I asked about this in a previous thread, and got some good references
to look at. What I'm hearing, without anyone saying so in so many words, is that I can't modify a macro from a macro. Is that correct? |

You can use a macro to modify a macro, using VBA's Extensibility library.

modifying a macro with a macro
One thing to consider is that xl2002 offered the user more security.
There's an option under: Tools|Macro|Security|Trusted Publishers If the user chooses to not "trust access to Visual Basic Project", then your code will have trouble making changes. This setting is a user-by-user setting. Your code can't change it. davegb wrote: I asked about this in a previous thread, and got some good references to look at.

I must have misunderstood the previous posts on this topic. Will continue my research to see if this is feasible. As for access to the macros, they're all written by me, so I shouldn't have any problem there. "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

You'll want to change that security level on her pc so that your code won't blow
up when it tries to access the project. davegb wrote: Dave Peterson wrote: But are you the only person who will run them? No, another person will be running them. Does that make a difference?
