Cannot open the file in excel

1 New Member
I cannot open a excel file as it is giving an error message:

"Microsoft office has identified a potential security concern"

When i say enable or Disable the file opens and its blank with no data displayed.

There could be hidden sheets, or data connections that aren't linked to any data on the workbook, or VBA code in the background.

Version of Office/Excel?

This warning concerns either VBA-Macros or Hyperlinks that Office has flagged as potentially harmful. It would be helpful to know what type of data you are expecting such as something from a linked data source etc...

That is a standard warning to indicate the file you are opening has web links and macros.

If you trust the file, just say OK or “Allow”

You can control if this message is displayed: Office button > Excel Options button > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings button (I have no idea why they have this extra button, DUMB DESIGN! )

saurabhkalra:
This was already basically stated in both Rabbit's and my post.

The suggestion to allow the trusted state is not something I offered on purpose as allowing a document to be trusted when it is not behaving correctly to begin with is potentially a harmful act to the user's PC and network. Until Atroharju contacts the person who sent the file or reviews the file carefully to ensure that nothing malicious is contained therein I highly advise against placing the file in a trusted state either by location or by permissions.
