Its a step in the right direction Brian, but in the case of Melissa, one's
infected document *would* come from a trusted source. In my case, it was from my mother. The warning helps, but they really should ship Word with macros disabled for safety, or failing that, write some code that would check to see what a macro actually does before allowing it to modify anything on the disk or access the mail program. spike
