Hey VBA boffins,

Here's one for ya. I havea spreadsheet herre at work that contains pricelists and discounts for all our customers. Over the years different people have added and deleted parts. It is at a stage now where when the sheet is opened, it gives the virus warning on macro's. This would be fine, if the spreadsheet actuall contained macro's!!!(btw....just in case some of you did wonder...it doesn't contain any macro's). I have also checked the VBA side, and there is zero VBA code in the sheets. no modules attached at all. Nothing on the objects. Its all in cell calculations. No fancy stuff.
Is there anywhere that it could still think there is a macro in the sheet?..If so..how would I find this?

Thanks for your help.

I have seen this several times before. I would imagine that someone, at some time, added a macro. Once the file is saved with a macro, Excel will think there is a macro present even if it is deleted. A simple way to get rid of that is to copy each of the sheets into a new workbook. Then, just use the new workbook in its place. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com
