Does this change the Security Level as though the user was doing it manually? I didn't think that was possible through VBA code. Does this mean you could change the users settings to Low Security so that it would automatically enable macros?
Thx.
I have some code for turning off Macro protection in 2000 does any one have any code for office xp?

BrettVBA. have you been keeping this a neat little secret ?
does it work in excel 97? or is there something similar?
One problem buddy boy.
The user will need to disable macros protection in order to run your code to disable macros protection. DUH!
This is the code for XP
and your right its not made to hack ppls computers so that they can't choose if they want macros enabled its just a useful piece of code!
I can lookup my 97 ver if you need it!

This should do it for 97 untested as I don't have 97
