Hi A user of my company gets this message when she plays an mpeg file from a slide. " Opening qqq.mpeg file. Some files can contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer. You should be certain that this file is from trustworthy source. Would you like to open this file ? Yes/No" And when she presses yes the mpeg runs perfectly. She wants to disable this warning message so that when she clicks this file it runs without this warning message. Can any one help in this regard ? She has got Powerpoint 2002. Thanks in advance A Learner

Try lowering the macro security level: Tools > Macro > Security M

Thanks Mark. But I am unable change the macro security to low level. When I change the security to low and then press ok it doesn't save the settings and comes to high security again. I have tried this with admin account as well but to no avail. Any ideas ??? Thanks A Learner

A Learner Is the user "hyperlinking" to the mpeg file, as that would explain the warning. Try using insert > movies from file instead Cheers TAJ Simmons microsoft powerpoint mvp http://www.awesomebackgrounds.com
