Macro security level help?

I have just created a PowerPoint Presentation which i intend on saving as a
PowerPoint Show.

I have added some simple macros to the presentation & I have changed my
security settings, and the macros work fine.

The problem i get is that when other people use the show the macro's do not
work. As their could be up to 100 people using this show i don't want to have
to tell them all to change they're security settings.

Basically, is there some sort of code i could write so that the macros are
enabled when they open up the show, and when they close the show their
security settings go back to what they were before?

How this makes sense?

Many Thanks,

Euffy

If you could do that, then so could anyone else. Would you run a presentation
from anyone else, knowing it could turn your security settings off then run code
that might delete all the files on your hard drive, install viruses or ...
pretty much anything?

And even if you could do it w/o the user knowing, would you risk getting caught
meddling with their security settings w/o telling them?

You look like a sensible person. Of course you wouldn't. ;-)

For presentations that others must run, your best bet is to avoid macros if at
all possible. If not, then you'll have to persuade your audience to trust you
and give them instructions for setting their security to Medium.
 
Can't do it because, well because then I could send you a presentation,
disable all your security and do anything I wanted to with your machine.
Not Good!
