Workbook opens in Protected View

**Steverizer** · 09-13-2013, 03:05 PM

I've been building an excel workbook with several tabs and many macros. At some point the file started opening in protected view. Is there anyway to trouble shoot the file to find the root cause of this?

Did you tried

Explorer > File > Properties.. > General > Unblock

Try once.. as you want to enable only for a specific file..

If you need all files (Never Protected mode ir-respective of source or any specific folder) let us know..

I wasn;t able to follow the instruction. Where is 'Unblock'?

I really have two issues.
1. Why is a file I created lunching in Protect mode on my computer? If I can figure out your solution, will that stop the file from coming up in protect mode even when I change the file name?
2. Can I prevent this file from coming up in Protect Mode when I email it to others?
