How to Programmatically Enable Trust for VBA Project?

Question

Getting the following error when trying to open a word document with macros to fill in the form fields: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Security\AccessVBOM

The user opening the word document does not have admin rights and the AccessVBOM flag is either not available or set to zero. I can set the flag for the HKCU programmatically but cannot change setting for AccessVBOM under HKLM.

Please advise how can we enable the trust for the VBA project programmatically.

Answer 1

I don't think you can, unless you change the setting in the registry. Without admin rights, not likely.

If you're on a corporate network that uses AD, you could use a GPO to set this - Office 2003, Office 2007, Office 2010.
