SYMPTOMS
In ProClarity Desktop Professional 6.1, ProClarity Desktop Professional 6.2, ProClarity Web Professional 6.1, or ProClarity Web Professional 6.2, you try to export a briefing book to a Microsoft Office PowerPoint presentation in Active mode. However, you receive the following error message:

Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted. Please check the macro security settings in PowerPoint to ensure that access is allowed.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the export action accesses Microsoft Visual Basic programmatically when you try to export to PowerPoint. By default, this programmatic access is disabled in some versions of Microsoft Office.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start PowerPoint.
 * 2) On the Tool menu, point to Macro, and then click Security.
 * 3) On the Security Level tab, make sure that the Low option or the Medium option is selected.
 * 4) On the Trusted Publishers tab, click to select the Trust access to Visual Basic Project check box.
 * 5) Click OK.
 * 6) Exit PowerPoint.
 * 7) Export the briefing book again in Desktop Professional or in Web Professional. To do this, point to Export on the File menu, and then click Export to PowerPoint.

Note Web Professional and Desktop Professional do not sign macros. You must set the Security Level option to Medium or Low. If the Security Level option is not set to Low or Medium, every page in the PowerPoint presentation displays the first page of the briefing book. If you change the Security Level option in step 3, you must restart the computer.
