Macros missing from sent workbook

Anyone else notice that when they send an excel workbook with macros in messaging, that the macros aren't there when the client downloads the workbook?

That is correct.

 

Upwork removes things like that from files.

For security purposes.

 

There already many threads discussing this.

 

Upwork may alter files or block transmission of files altogether.

If that poses a problem for you, then don't use Upwork to transmit files.

Thanks for the reply. I don't believe that used to be the case. I wonder how long this has been this way. In any case, thanks again.
