Hello,
I found this nifty method to force users to enable macros and so far it's working great and was very easy to implement.
See method here: http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=379
The problem now is that I need to modify the code so that instead of all the sheets un-hiding only four of the sheets to unhide and since this code was a piece of cake to implement and I am a noob when it comes to this stuff I have no idea where to start.
Those four sheets are titled:
String Sizing
Voltage Drop
Performance
Custom Equipment
The code which is located in the ThisWorkBook object:
Any help greatly appreciated! Cheers. :)
John
