Microsoft has blocked macros from running

Hello All,

you might know that " Microsoft has blocked Macros from running through internet" do we have any permanent solution on this?

I have tried the below solution which doesn't work.

  1. Save the file to a local hard drive, network share, or cloud share like OneDrive.
  2. Open Windows File Explorer and go to the folder where you saved the file.
  3. Right-click the file and choose Properties from the context menu.
  4. At the bottom of the General tab, you should see a section for Security. Select the Unblock checkbox and select OK.

Also, tried to enable Macros through Macros settings through Trust center but didn't work?

is there any permanent solution on this?

Thanks,

AMit

Hi,

I think I found a solution to my problem.

The solution is to re-map the network drive to the fileserver name first and then adding that mapped directory to the trusted locations in excel.

Mapped Location:

\fileserver\networkdirectory and not \[192.xxx.xxx.xxx]\networkdirectory

Hope it helps someone out there.

Regards,

Ryno

    For an individual file, such as a file downloaded from an internet location or an email attachment the user has saved to their local device, the simplest way to unblock macros is to remove the Mark of the Web. To remove, right-click on the file, choose Properties, and then select the Unblock checkbox on the General tab.

    Hi Peter, thanks for the answer. For files sitting in OneDrive, do you know what the solution should be? Since they are in "shared" environment, there is no "unblock" checkbox. Also I tried the suggestion from Microsoft on putting the folder ("C:\Users\jonny\OneDrive\SomeFolder") into a trust location, but without success. Thanks

    I have a similar problem that I can not solve. I am the author of all macros on my computer and nothing is being written to, nor being read from the internet. I am running a standalone copy of Office 2019. Everything was fine I had no problems. I was inspecting an object in the watch window when Excel Stopped responding, requiring a restart. From that time on, when I open any excel spreadsheet, I get an error that the macros have been disabled because they are from an "untrusted" source. I take all the recommended steps but the problem will not clear
