macros and permissions

[piq]

Hi everyone!
I use NT4 workstation and office97 and have a problem:
simple user (reaod only permission to the dirs) cannot run a macro.. There is _object access denied_ message, when I try to run a macro. If i'm logged as admin - there is ok.
Where is there a problem??
I haven't 'full version' installed and only selected components, but there were no problem during the install.
What should I do to make simple user able to run macros?
(dir 'Microsoft Shared' -> change pemission doesn't work)

Please, help!

Perhaps the macro needs the drive for some purpose. With Qs about macros, it's always best to paste the code.

No, it isn't about any needs for purpose.
I said: when i'm logged as admin, everything is OK.
When i'm logged as simple user - there is a problem.

HELP!!

Do you have WRITE rights to the folder as admin?

Yes, I have rights to write. I tried give users write permission to dir "Microsoft Shared", even "Common Files" but it didn't work.

What does the macro do?

I am having the same problem running Excel 97 on Windows XP.

If a user is in Administrator Group, they can open the file, if a user is in User Group they cannot.

I had a sort of similar problem with the user group not being able to do spelling and grammer work on Word 97 on XP. The solution to this was a registry hack (257643) but I have had no luck finding similar at Microsoft. Can anyone help.
