Enable Macros Warning
Hide essential worksheets and put the message on the visible sheet. Have
your code enable your project by unhiding the sheet and unlocking things, moving the message sheet out of the way. It if doesn't run, not much to work with. In the beforeclose event you would have to "reseal" your workbook and save it. Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Phil Perry" wrote in message ... I believe you can't bypass the initial screen in Excel which asks you to select to disable macros (default button for pete sake) or enable macros. Is there a way I can put a message on there to advise the program will not run unless you enable macros...or other procedure to overcome this. cheers |

Enable Macros Warning
Tom,
In the beforeclose event you would have to "reseal" your workbook and save it. I don't think that the "Before_Close" is where the code to "reseal" the workbook should be placed. Doing so would allow the user to "Save" with all the sheets unhidden. To force a "Save" on closing would be undesirable too since the user might have already saved and now wants to just close out without saving subsequent changes. The method that I use does have the undesirable effect that it briefly displays the "Warning" screen when the file is saved but it insures that it is indeed saved with only the one sheet visible and returns the user to where they left off before the save.

If the user saved with sheets unhidden, it would be a moot point if I then
hid the sheets and saved in before close. While you raise a valid point, disabling events and saving freely is an obvious option which overcomes any event driven solution. Use of addins and compiled code would be much stronger approaches. Regards, Tom Ogilvy "John Wilson" wrote in message ...
