View source for Adding a Trusted Location in Microsoft Excel

== Overview ==

A trusted location allows Excel to recognise files as being '''Safe'''. Adding a trusted location in Excel will ensure that ExcelReportLink starts automatically rather than needing to '''Enable Macros''' each and every time.

In addition, on some machines, adding a trusted location will prevent ExcelReportLink compile error.

== Adding a trusted location automatically when first starting ExcelReportLink ==

The first time you start the ExcelReportLink, you will prompt to add a trusted location automatically. We strongly recommend you choose to do so.

== Adding a trusted location manually ==

Alternatively, if you prefer adding the trusted location yourself, follow these steps.
