Excel has built security to protect you from unsafe workbooks. You see this in action when opening an Excel workbook that contains macros. If the workbook is opened from your email or downloads area then it is not trusted and the security kicks in to warn you of the potential risks.


For XLAutomation workbooks you can avoid this warning appearing each time you open the workbook by creating a "Trusted Location" . Refer to the relevant section below for your version of Excel to create a "Trusted Location"
