Operation cancelled due to restrictions in Excel 2003

[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.

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.

The program I downloaded is MyScores_Long_V3.1 from 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 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.
