OK - Ted, I get your point. Sure was a Zinger of a Delivery. And, yes - understood - not a good idea to leave the solution in the hands of Users.
I found the Sample screen - regfile.scx - which I believe is the one you are referring to. And, as such - to implement this Registry update - such that it runs (if needed) before the Excel file is generated - and that should do the trick.

There's a group of people who specialize in doing just this. They use something called "programming languages" to write to an "API" that somehow magically updates registry entries. I dunno how they do it; it's just magic to me. But perhaps you can find one. They call themselves "software programmers." If they know "FoxPro" you can tell them there are examples in the "Solution Samples" under "Windows API" They'll know what that means. > Almost sounds like it would just be easier to have each user just change the > Trust settings in MS Office to resolve the issue - as the original QA person > already did. Because users are so much more reliable than programmers. Yeah, that's a good idea. Don't forget to do this for _every_ user that needs to run your app. And any temps who come in or new employee logins, since it's user-specific. And any new machines you get in. Or anytime anyone has to reinstall Windows. > Anyway - thanks again for your input. And thank you for your output.
