Program runs fine from a removable usb drive. when run from my hard drive it
says locked for editing. Would like to know why it is locked on my drive
but not locked on removable drive.
Thanks

Program behaves for me and is one of my favorites. I'm not sure why it
doesn't like you? My Mac loves it!

But if we are talking about trying to run, a program made to run on a USB
drive, on your hard drive by just copying it to the hard drive, then it is
not suppose to work that way. You need to run a full installation program on
the computer, so that the program and its associated files can be registered
in the Windows registry. So are you talking about applications or data files
associated to certain applications? You didn't say which application. This
is a Word VBA forum, so did you mean that the VBA editor runs OK from your
USB drive, but since it is already open, it won't run from the Word
application on your hard drive?

I wrote the program in excel. Not sure if it is a word error or excel. The
program opens word.doc for reading. This is done from a option button on
userform.(User startup info) All related files for this program are in one
folder both on my hard drive and same on the usb drive. All files were copied
to the usb from my hard drive. Hope this explains question better.
