How do I get this message from popping up every time I open an excel file even if it doesn't have a macro built in? No other file is open on the computer. I have removed all VBA code form the personal macro workbook, but it didn't change anything. I tried to save the personal macro workbook, but it says it's read only. I checked the properties tab of personal.xlsb and saw that the file was not in read only status.
