JACKPOT!

When I looked at the "Macros In" item, I discovered that the macros were
being placed into the normal.dot and not the document. I simply copied them
from the normal.dot to the .doc and then deleted them from the
normal.dot.....SUCCESS!

Thank you for your help Graham.

If the macros are in the document and the macro security is set to medium
you will *always* get a warning prompt. If you are absolutely certain that
the macros are stored *in the document* and you are getting no warning and
no access, then it is possible that the Word data key in the registry is
corrupt. Back up that key and then delete it. Allow Word to build a new one
as shown at http://www.gmayor.com/my_toolbars_are_missing.htm

My guess is that the macros were not in the document but in the normal.dot
template and this was replaced when the machines were rebuilt. Yours still
works because the macro is still in your normal.dot. Storing macros in
templates is a much better idea than storing them in documents.

yes, they have been working for over 2 months now, it's just since
they rebuilt their machine that this has become a problem

Are you sure that the macros are supposed to be in the document and
not in the template (or your normal.dot)?

I have a word doc (2003) which contains two macros. The
Document_Open() event calls one of the macros. Everything has been
fine until recently. Several of my users have had to rebuild their
machines including upgrading to XP and installing Office 2003. Now
when they open the word doc they get a VBA compile error saying the
macro name is not defined. When I look at the doc the macros are
there...I have the users to go ToolsMacroMacro and they do not
see the two macros contained in the doc. They have emailed the doc
to me and I can see the macros, but they cannot. Is there some
default in word somewhere where you need to enable macros? Their
macro security is set to Medium, we tried setting it to low, but
that didn't make any difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
