Try using Tools/Options/General and uncheck Macro Virus Protection
which detects any macro in a workbook - even if it is yours

Gary,

This is ambiguous. If you get an Excel warning to the effect of "This
workbook contains macros. Macros can be bad...," this is normal if the
workbook contains any macros, or even just an empty macro module. If you
get an alert from your anti-virus program, then it thinks the file contains
a known virus. Which?
