Operation cancelled due to restrictions in Excel 2003

[Guest Gerry V.]

XP Home edition

Excel 2003

I recently downloaded a program which is based on Excel. However when I

click on a link in the home page to another page in the program, I get the

message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on

this computer, Please contact your administrator."

As the sole user of my lap top, I have contacted myself but don’t know what

to do. Any help will by warmly welcomed.

Check whether the problem is disabling of macros.

See previous posts - this is an OS/IE problem, not an Excel or Outlook

problem. But I haven't been able to find a fix for it yet.

Which previous posts? There has only been one and it does not rule out

the point I have made.

Could be several reasons. Without knowing more.....

 

For starters check the registry for restrictions set under policies\internet

explorer.

Re: Operation cancelled due to restrictions in Excel 2003

 

There are a number of threads (sorry, I used the wrong term) on "restriction

on this computer...." most seem to happen when using Outlook, and the

microsoft line is "it's OS/IE not Outlook"

 

I did the changing IE to be default, and Outlook to be default and rewriting

a registry key - all to no avail.

Rey

The program I downloaded is MyScores_Long_V3.1 from http://www.archers-docs.co.uk/

.. When I click on say B16 (FITA 70M) I get the message ‘The operation has

been ……..’. I don’t have the knowledge or confidence to make amendments to

the Registry.

Thanks for your interest

"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this

computer."

Re: Operation cancelled due to restrictions in Excel 2003

 

Kelly

 

This may seem silly to you, but I'm not sure I know how to access the

Registry to check for restrictions.

 

I'm one of those who know enough about computers to be dangerous!

 

Thanks for your interest.
