Where I work we have four computers to share within a group of about 50 people. To deal with the problem of adware and viruses the IS group runs a routine each night that wipes the computers clean and resets them to a default state.
This works good for elimination spyware and such, but it also resets Excel to a default state. I have a couple files with small macros in them. After a cleanse the default virus protection for macros is set to high and any add-ins are gone. Not a problem for me but others in the group that need to use these files won't bother if they have to screw around with them. It's been quite a while since I wrote any serious VBA. I seem to remember that there was a way to have a start-up macro that could configure Excel. I'm thinking If I could create a macro like this, then maybe I could simplify the use of these files. I might have to talk IS into allowing the macro survive the wipe, but at least if I have it written, they won't shoot it down for lack of time. I would appreciate your thought on this.
