Default Stop users leaving cells blank

Hi

I have found some code from another thread which stops users leaving cells
blank and displays a warning message when the user attempts to save the file:

Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1,A2,A3,A4")
If IsEmpty(cell.Value) Then
MsgBox "You must fill in cell " & cell.Address
Application.Goto cell
Cancel = True
Exit For
End If
Next cell

Now, this works fine in the file itself and when I save it as a .xlsm file
(I am using Excel 2007). However, the problem is that when you go to open the
file the macro is intially disabled, as explained by the Information Bar. For
the macro to work, it has to be activated by the user. So, if a user choose
not to activate the code, then they can just leave the cells blank. Is there
a way round this to force the macro to work?

Thanks
