    Red face Macro Security Popup box does not come up when Workbook is opened

    We created a Workbook in Excel 2003 with VB code...macros.
    It has a macro set up to open the Workbook on the first tab.
    On the first tab/first sheet we have several buttons that activate other macros sending the user to different tabs.
    The macros in this workbook work fine on our computers and our clients' computers that use Excel 2003, 2007, or 2010.

    It does not work for One of our clients that has Excel 2007.
    When they first opened the Workbook, it does not give the Security Warning popup box that says: "Disable Macros Enable Macros More info"
    It is not recognizing that the Workbook has macros when the Workbook is first opened and therefore not connecting to the macros.
    If they use the tabs at the bottom of the Excel Workbook to move from sheet to sheet, the macros are not activated and do not run.
    If they go to the first sheet and click on one of our buttons (that active macros) then they get the Security Warning popup box that says: "Disable Macros Enable Macros More info".
    They click the Enable Macros option and It is at this point that the Excel Workbook recognizes that there are macros.

    Any idea what is going on with their settings...or computer....or ??? FYI: They are using Internet Explorer 7.
    Why does Excel open the Workbook and NOT give the Security popup when the Workbook is first opened?

    Office Button >> Excel Options >> Trust Center >> Trust Center Settings. Once there, you will likely need to make changes to the Message Bar and Macro Settings categories to fit your needs.
    Perhaps it was the Noid who should have avoided me...
    If you are satisfied with my solution click the small star icon on the left. Thanks
    1. Make a copy of your workbook and run the following code on your copy (just in case)
    2. With excel open, press ALT+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE). From the "Insert" menu, select "Module".
    3. Paste the code from above into the empty white space. Close the VBE.
    4. From the developer tab, choose "Macros", select the Sub Name, and click "Run".
