I've read many of the posts regarding the Shift Key issue. It just doesn't seem to work. I've tried the Configuration fix and that did not work. The fact is I am running Excel 2007 in Parallels that runs code when the xlsm file opens. You can use the shift key to bypass the code on startup in a regular windows installation but when I try to do this in Parallels nothing. I may very well return Parallels and just use a boot camp installation if they can't figure out what is going on here. I use a macbook (4 years old) with Snow Leopard and Parallels 6 and it's causing me a great deal of headaches. Anybody have a solution that works that doesn't involve LogMeIn or RDP?
