Add-in security
First off, thanks to Jon Peltierfor the super easy-to-follow code
he http://peltiertech.com/Excel/menus.html ... I use it in an add- in to call up two tools - a specialized text formatting tool and a "find and highlight duplicates" tool. Here's my question - every time I start up excel and go to use my tools, the little "do you want to enable macros" box pops up. Does anyone know how to get around this? Thanks a lot! |

Change your macro security setting to Low. Tools Macro Security Low
(on the Security Level tab) OK Hope this helps, Hutch "cht13er" wrote: First off, thanks to Jon Peltierfor the super easy-to-follow code he http://peltiertech.com/Excel/menus.html ...

Add-in security
Please be aware that if you set your security settings to "Low", that
setting will apply to ALL Excel files. You will NEVER be prompted to allow macros....they will simply load without your explicit consent. If there are malicious macros in the file, they will load...engage...and do their damage. Personally, I'd rather get the occassional prompt and know that only files I trust will be allowed to run macros. -------------------------- Regards, Ron Microsoft MVP (Excel) (XL2003, Win XP) "Tom Hutchins" wrote in message ...

Tom, like Ron points out, I don't want to turn macro security off ...
I am just wondering if there's a way that I can tell Excel that add- ins stored in /application data/microsoft/addins are OK and that I don't need a pop-up to allow those....

Add-in security
If the file is in fact an add-in, you can install it (Tools menu Add-ins
Browse etc.), and then it will not bother you again. The act of installing it counts as approving it every time Excel starts, for as long as it's still approved. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "cht13er" wrote in message ...
