I need to run functions from an XLL. I cannot run demonstrate this XLL on a friend's machine. When I looked at the Trust Center Settings -> Macro Settings, the option for 'Enable Excel 4.0 macros when VBA macros are enabled box' is missing.

    @TW Koh

    Please check the version of Office on your friend's machine, as not all releases of Office has this feature box, such as Office professional Plus 2019.

    If your friend is runing Microsoft 365 apps, it's recomended to check the version number and the update channel.
    According to the Microsoft roadmap, this option is option was launched in May of this year. Please make sure the version is newer than Version 2104 (Build13929.20296).
