    "Enable Macros" prompt does not appear...

    Hi,

    I'm using Excel 2007..
    When Macro Security is set to- 'Disable all Macros with notification', the "Enable Macros ?" prompt should appear every time a file with Macros is opened, right ?
    But it does not appear for my file.. The file size is 4MB; may be that could be the reason.. while opening it, the macro in my file gets disabled by default, my code does not work & the sheet is stuck in 'Design Mode'..

    If Macros security is set to low (Enable all Macros.. ) the code works beautifully.. Is setting the security to low, only solution for this ?

    The setting applies for every workbook opened on that system, so the users wont be happy if they've to change the security setting to low for my file & change it back to medium / high for others every time...

    Pls help !!!

    Check the setting for displaying blocked content in message bar.

    Office button > Excel Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Message Bar

    Thanks for your reply Andy... But don't think that's the problem..
    "Show the Message Bar in all applications when content has been blocked" is selected in my system..
    Attached is the screen shot of that setting - Picture1.jpg

    are you looking for the message bar warning (below the formula bar) or expecting the old 'enable macros' dialog? the dialog only appears if you have the vb editor open otherwise you get the message bar

    if at first you don't succeed try doing it the way your wife told you to
