I don't know quite what you can do -- I don't have access to a server to try
fiddling with it.

The message is the standard one you get when Word finds macros either in any
document (*.doc) or in a template from an "untrusted" location while the
macro security level is set to High. For Word 2003 and earlier, only the
local Templates and Startup folders are trusted; Word 2007 allows
(theoretically, anyway) choosing other locations to be trusted.

Go to Tools Macro Security and see what level is set -- each computer
will have its own setting, and there's no way to change them from outside.
If they're set to High, try changing them to Medium, which should give you a
choice of disabling or enabling the macros (of course, since you know this
isn't a virus, you should choose Enable). The Low setting is not
recommended.

Another thing that might work -- no promises -- is to go to Tools Options
File Locations and set the Workgroup location to point to the folder on
the server. It's worth a try.

The only thing I know that's guaranteed to work is digitally signing the
macros with a security certificate. Unless you have a corporate security
server that can issue certificates, though, it'll cost several hundred
dollars to get one from Verisign or Thawte.

Jay,
When I copy the templates (that work now,YEA :-) ) to my server so
other people on the network can use them, I get a MVB window that
states "The macros in this project are disabled. Please refer to the
online help or documentation of the host application to determine how
to enable macros."

This also happens when I attempt to access the templates from other
stations on the network, and when I create shortcuts to my template
folder.

If I put shortcuts to my template folder in the folder on the server
I can open the templates just fine, but only off my own machine.

Is this a complicated work arround?
