Im creating a workbook, and was thinking of using a macro. I've decided
otherwise, and can not get rid of the prompt that reads:

"the workbook you are opening contains macros" with the options to
"enable macros","do not open" or "disable macros.

This message pops up as soon as I open the document, and is causing
frustration amoung other users of this document. I've since "enabled
macros" and then deleted all macros I created, but I am still prompted
with the above message.

Does anyone know how to remove this message?

Any help is much appreciated!!

In the VB Editor, right click on the Module(s) and select "Remove
Modulex..." where x is a number. Choose "No" in the dialogue box.

Regards

When you record a macro, Excel creates a module in which the code is
stored. When you delete the macro, the module is not automatically
deleted. There are instructions here for finding and removing code:
