Is there any way to get Excel 2007 to let you use removable media as a
"trusted location"? My assistant has a Zip drive hooked to her PC that
she's using as basically an external hard drive, but whenever she opens a
saved spreadsheet, it always gives her a warning about "external content
disabled." I wanted to set that as a trusted location, but Excel won't
let me. It gives me an error "The location you have entered is not a
valid location or cannot be used as a Trusted Location for security
reasons; please check the path you have typed or choose another location
or a specific folder."

Is there any way to force Excel to allow it?

Does selecting "Allow trusted locations on my network" at the bottom of the
dialog allow you to make the zip drive trusted?

Thought that might do it, but no, it doesn't. Sad Thanks for the
suggestion... any other suggestions? I'm no excel guru, that's why I'm
posting in here. Smile

FWIW, anyone who supports Office applications would/should strongly
recommend again directly working from removable media. Office 2007 just
enforces it.

I tried to simulate your situation by using a USB drive. It was drive F:. I
found Excel would not let me make the root trusted (F:\) but it did allow a
sub folder ("F:\TestDir"). I had the network option selected at the time I
tried a subfolder so I don't know whether if it would have worked without
it. I don't know whether you were trying just the root so I thought I
mention this.
