Hi,

Visio 2003/XP Pro SP2

I'm using the automation in the timeline so I can slide the milestones
back and forth and the dates change automatically.

But, I have this problem on two computers where if I lower my security
to high and disable 'enable automation events' in options > security,
when I start Visio, it tries to run/install all the add-ins I have,
which is about 30 (and I don't know where they all came from; only a
few) - everytime I start Visio. This is no good.

If I increase the security to high, then the automation doesn't work.

Does anyone know how I can get it to stop running/installing all the
add-ins. It also seems to be every program I have in Desktop, where
my downloads go.

Thanks a bunch,

Michele

P.S. - All the other boxes are unchecked in the security window and in
Macro Security under Trusted Publishers, 'Trust all installed add-ins
and templates' is not checked, but 'Trust access to Visual Basic
Project' is checked.

It sounds like you have a surplus path setup.
menu Tools -> Options
Advanced Tab -> File Paths button

Check the paths for Addons and Start Up
They should either be blank or set to the paths of extra addons that
you know about.

Security set to High is normal.
