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 ODBClink starts automatically rather than needing to '''Enable Macros''' each and every time.

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

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

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