You cannot force a system with "high security settings" to run your code.
Think about it. First, how would that code run if the security settings stop code from running? Second, if you were able to do that, it would defeat the purpose of having security settings in the first place. If your user is to be able to run your macros, they will have to adjust their Excel settings to either permit macros to run directly (not advisable) or to prompt them if it is alright to run macros (better). -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Curt" wrote in message ...

My problem is getting to the promp screen to allow macros to run. Does
security need to be reset to allow this screen to apear in excel? If so then I will create a doc to explain how to do it. Novices as we are we are getting there.

If security is set at high or very high the user will not get the prompt and
macros will be diabled. Security set to medium prior to the workbook being opened will raise the prompt. If the workbook is signed and trusted, no prompt will appear but macros will be enabled.

Is there any difference in the settings between XP & Vista in security
settings. Both my comp & another are set on medium high. Mine gives a choice to enable macros the other running Vista with office 2000 same as me asks to go to online help to enable. I will go back to other comp next week and try lower settings. As you said medium I hope that is medium high.

XP and Vista are operating systems and should have no bearing on security
options in Excel but I don't run Vista so not sure. You are changing the securioty settings in Excel, right? I never heard of a "medium high" setting but then I have never used Excell 2000 either.
