Default Visual Basic Editor Opening and Closing for User

I have a user who is learning VB in excel. When she opens the visual
basic
editor it imedietely opens and then closes. When I do it as
administrator it opens and stays open. Obviously a permission issue.


Does anyone know how to allow her to open the VB editor in Excel and
use it w/out giving her administrator access to the whole computer. I
tried giving her write permissions to the Excel.exe but this does not
solve the problem.


Thanks.

In xl2003, from the Excel window: ToolsMacroSecurityTrusted Publishers
and then check the trust boxes at the bottom of the dialog box. Not sure if
xl2007 + has the same path.

Understood.

Anyone else want to make a stab at it.

OJ Simpson would probably want to take a stab at it but he doesn't frequent
this NG.

I've never seen this happen, but maybe you can explain how she's trying to
access the VBE.

Is it through alt-F11 or tools|macro|...

Does it make a difference?

And a wild guess...

Are you sure you installed the VBA component for her? I'm not sure if xl97 had
this as an option (I think it did) that you choose to install, run from disk,
install on first use (or something like those).

Have you tried reinstalling excel completely? (And including that VBA
option???)
