Macro enabled BOM is a security risk #2

File in question: capmeter/schematics/bom_capacitance_meter.xlsm

This is a macro enabled Excel spread sheet which has the ability to execute code on a host machine. I'm guessing that VB scripts in this are fully benign and probably useful/necessary for the project, but it's still a worry. Office has removed autorun capabilities for document macros, so it's not a huge issue anymore.

It would be best to remove the macro if you can maintain functionality of the document. I'm guessing the macro is integral enough that this issue should be marked "wontfix".
