VBA - Preventing Files from saving in "protected view"

Hi All,

Since receiving a new laptop from work, a macro that I run has consequently started saving files in "protected view" (with the red bar along the top to say everything is disabled).

This means that I am subsequently having to open each of the files that are created in order to select "edit anyway" and then save.

Is there a setting that I can use that would resolve this? I am assuming there isn't any VBA code required, because my VBA hasn't changed between laptops?

Any help greatly appreciated, having to open all the files (70+) each week is causing me some frustration.

Regards,
Simon

Hi Simon,
Under Developer Macro Security you can change the rules on protected view files
