4.1.2 Trusting Access to Visual Basic Project
If you are using Microsoft Excel 2002 or 2003 you may encounter difficulties checking the Trust access to Visual Basic Project checkbox in the Security Dialogbox (see also: Changing Security Settings).
In some cases, the latter checkbox is grayed out on the Trusted Sources page (which is not the case in the example below). However, this checkbox always should be checked, otherwise you
cannot startup and run ArArCALC. To make this checkbox active again, you should follow the instructions below:
- Go to the Windows Start button and select the Run ... tool.
- Type in regedit and hit OK to open the Registry Editor program.
- In the Registry Editor perform a Find for AccessVBom.
- If a key is returned, check to see if its part of SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security path, or any other variation on this path name based on different Excel versions (9.0, 10.0 or 11.0). If that is not the case, keep searching by clicking the Find Next
button, until you find a match.
Note Not always you will be able to find this key. This is a good sign and means you can stop here.
- If you found the correct Excel AccessVBom registry key, you should delete it by Right-Clicking on the item or via the Edit menu. You will be asked to confirm the deletion.
- Close the Registry Editor and try to set the Security Settings again.
