Office 2007

As I use Office 2007 1 will document issues that arise, new ways of doing things.



VBA Macros



Opened my access database that apparently contains VBA macros. You are given an option

• Help Protect


• Enable Content

Note if you enable content then it is for this session only. The next time you open the database you will be prompted again.

There seems to be two ways of handling this

• Changing access permisions for all macros


• Adding the location of your database to the trusted locations

Macro Permissions

• Disable all macros without notification


• Disable all macros with notification (default setting)


• Disable all macros except digitally signed macros


• Enable all macros

Trusted Locations

Here you can add the directory location of the database. This would then give you greater security because you could leave the default macro permissions but not have to enable macro permissions for databases that you had created or came from a trusted location.

There is an option not ticked and not recomended "allow trusted locations on my network". Why I am not sure. However I save my database to a network drive so that it is backed up.

** Will have to investigate further **

Star Stream

The shortcut for this would have to be changed from office to office12

Would also need this to be a trusted location

Folder Locations and Save Options

Folder Locations set to network drive. Drop autsave time to 5 mins. This will need to be checked for all apps.

Personal Folder

I removed Ofice 2000 from Personal Assistants PC. Installed 2007. When I started up Outlook it automatically migrated the Personal Folder (which must not have been deleted when office was removed) into the new version. However there was now two Personal Folders in Outlook. I just closed one and it was OK. I will need to investigate as she may have imported her backup copy from her network drive without realising it had already been done.
