technical budget planner question

Options
Ok,

I need to have another look at the budget planner and sort myself out as I think im slipping.

Im trying to open it ( Ive got the excel version saved) and its saying that I have my settings set to high security & cant disable the macros. What in the hell does that mean- and how do I resolve it? :confused:
:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I think you have to adjust your security settings but I'm not quite sure how I did it. Try using excel help, change the settings to medium and then close and reopen the spreadsheet. I'm just off to have a look at it, hang on a sec!!

    Ok, in Excel go to Tools and then Macros and the Security. You should then see a box which enables you to change the security level. Change the level and then close all open excel windows. Reopen the budget planner and it should (and I say should because I might be wrong) work.

    Hope it works!
