You lost me, sorry. Even when these files are saved in template
format, I still get the message. And all these files need to be
emailed, so no way to have them in a particular folder. If they are
shared aftewards, they would be place on a shared network drive (in
this contract, the G drive is the shared network folder), so again,
we're out of luck re their being anywhere near a startup folder.
<sigh>

So "signing" or whatever, I'm guessing, isn't going to solve the
problem (?).

I've gone ahead and put a help button into the spread*** that
explains how to change the security level from high to medium to at
least allow the macros to work. I was hoping to get rid of the
problem altogether with this "signing" business, but admittedly don't
know what would be involved, anyway. It just seemed like a good idea
to try to see if doing this would help.

Thanks.
