When you test from the accesspoint, do shift+ctrl+M to see what the macro security level is.

Change it to System if needed and see if that resolves your problem.

already have that in place

this might be a stupid question or a very important point I missed. Does QV server need to have MS office(Excel) for me to use Macro?

Only if you are running with the client installed on the server.

When accessing through the accesspoint, the macro is running on the user's PC.

We contacted the support team and sent them a copy of file with macro we are using. They tested it in QV 10 and 11 environments. Their expert openion was that....reason for failure is, its complete VBscript and we have to use API guide they have provided in the documententation to convert it into format that is supported.
