activex
I have an excel add in that connects to an external
database. Ever since I added the add-in I get a "Microsoft Forms" message upon intially launching excel telling me that the application is about to launch activex controls that maybe unsafe, and do i trust the source. Is there anyway to say yes permanently so that i do not always get the message as it is preventing me from running scheduled excel programs overnight? thanks |

Is there anyway to say yes permanently so that i do not always get the message as it is preventing me from running scheduled excel programs overnight? Which version of Excel? I have an app which shows this message in Excel2003 and FWIW I haven't found a way to prevent this message from being shown. There may be a 'brute force' way of doing it (e.g. SendKeys or the equivalent using APIs) but when security features are circumvented in this way, the risk of a security breach increases. Personally, I can live with dismissing the message each time and would expect my security-conscious users to do the same. I can see how this could be frustrating in your circumstances, though.

Open your Windows Control Panel and run Internet Options. Select the Security tab and InternetCustom Level. Scroll down to ActiveX controls and checkmark "enable" under "run activex controls and plug-ins" Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Mon, 5 Jul 2004 19:57:00 -0700, "alison" wrote: I have an excel add in that connects to an external database.
