Hey there,

I am a little frustrated (it was really tough getting info about this in the
knowledge base). I am becoming tempted to remove SP2. Through my careful
watch, my computer never had a problem until this SP2 (she has plenty of
security that I have the option to control *smile* and the SP2 firewall is
disabled with that) and unfortunately most of the features with SP2 are not
needed with my system-well time will tell with that, but it would be a pitty
not to continue to receive updates if we don't have it. There should be a
simple admin template, or something, available that would allow an
experienced user to enable or disable this security feature "at the person's
own risk" of course.

Will this "security feature" prevent me from programming my office
professional 2003 apps? I will be learning a little about that soon. Is it
possible to enable these web tools through programming (visual basic or C# or
something)? It is a bugger that things are offered with my Office Pro 2003
and included but disabled by another MS program without it being my desire
*smile*.

What do you think about some work arounds? Are there any out there?

Kindest regards.

Sincerely,
Shannon

None of the security features will stop you writing or using code on your
own computer. Office 2003 now checks the certificates of all macros; you can
self-certify your own code, which takes only a moment.
