Dear Sir,

 

When I save my macro enable workbook, every time one message appears (i.e. "Privacy warning: This documents contains macro, ActiveX control, XML expansion pack information or web components. These may include personal information that cannot be removed by the documents inspector".).  

Kindly let me know if there is any option by which I can skip the message and save the workbook directly.

 

Thanks and regards

Rathin Das

Hi Rathin,

 

This warning is part of Excel's Trust Center options.

 

To disable it, you'll need to click: File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings... > Privacy Options

...and then un-tick the option Remove personal information from file properties on save.

For more on the Trust Center, see the video lesson: Expert Skills Lesson 9-14: Understand Trusted Documents.

 

I hope this solves your problem.  If not, please feel free to reply to this post and I will try to offer further advice.
