At work I am running all 3 platforms depending on which provider I'm working for at the time 98/2003, 2007 & 2010 so my head is all over the place. Some files have to cross work & compatibility is an issue with Pivots, cond formatting & command buttons but I guess that another set of blogs. thanks again Mark Many Thanks Jon

This article was written during the Office 2010 Beta, and apparently some User Interface Aesthetics Engineer decided red was too harsh. It still is better than in Excel 2007. Another nice thing is that even after dismissing the bar (by clicking on the X at the right of the bar) you can go to the File tab and enable the file. Guess I'll be rewriting this post soon. Mark -

It's definitely 2010 & you must have a different colour scheme as mine is certainly a pail yellow or is it a bright buff? More annoying in compatibility mode... Pivot tables just lock as Data & Complex cond formatting forces file to open as non formatted! Think some are deliberate bugs to force us to go fully 2010 & thence our coleagues & partners to do the same! Thanks

Grrr. Mark -

The message bar isn't red on my home PC but if it's accepted once or maybe ignored once the next time you open the file it doesn't prompt you but then you can't enable the macros. Can you force the dialogue ribbon to appear after you start working on the file? Old Post but relevant.
