Well thank you for your 'slightly sarcastic help', but I Microsoft Software skills are just enough to know Windows Systems are a big security leak and thus all settings for code and auto-run stuff are disabled by default.
Yet, as a Mac User on a Windows System, I still feel like noob so to review: I chose these settings;
ActiveX Settings:
- Enable all controls without restrictions and without prompting (not recommended; potentially dangerours controls can run)
- No Safe Mode
Macro Settings:
- Enable all macros (not recommended; potentially dangerous code can run)
- Trust acces to the VBA project object model
External Content Settings:
- Enable all Data Connections (not recommended)
So in short: evil excel files can screw me over big time.
Yet when I open the file I still get this error;
"This workbook has lost its VBA project, ActiveX controls and any other programmability-related features."
Is there someone, unlike Professor Hurt, that
really has a clue how to fix this?
Thanks for your help.
