Macro Options

Use this dialog box to change your default Sage 300 macro folder and set macro security.

To change the default folder:

  1. On the Sage 300 Desktop, click Macros > Options.
  2. Type the path to the folder, or choose Browse to display a list of folders, then select a folder and click OK.
  3. Click OK to close the Macro Options dialog box.

To set macro security:

Note:

Only the Administrator can set security levels for macros.

If the security level is set to High, the Sage 300 desktop and Web desktop will only run macros that have been digitally signed.

  1. On the Sage 300 Desktop, click Macros > Options.
  2. On the Macro Options dialog box, click the Security button to open the Security screen.
  3. On the Security Level tab, select one of the following levels:
    • High: Choose this setting when you want only signed macros to run. (Note that any unsigned macros will not run when you select High.)
    • Medium: When you choose this setting, you will see a message asking if you want to run a macro that could possibly be unsafe.
    • Low: (Not recommended.) You should only select this setting if you have virus scanning software installed and only then if you are sure that all the documents you open will be safe. This setting offers no protection from potentially unsafe macros.
  4. Click OK to leave the Security screen, then click Close to exit from Macro Options.

Each macro opened in Sage 300 will now be protected by the chosen security level.

Note: If a macro is edited on a machine that does not have a certificate stored, the macro will become unsigned.
