HOW TO SAVE & SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION

 

Note:

You’ll need Microsoft Excel to open this document (download below).

For applicants using Excel versions other than Excel 2007, this application will not work properly unless macros are enabled and the macro security setting allows macros to run. If upon entering the application file, you are not prompted to “Enable Macros”, you will need to exit the file and change the macro settings within Excel. To set Excel to run macros, you must be in the Excel program with no workbooks open.  On the menu bar go to Tools/Macro/Security and then select either “Medium” or “Low”. You can then re-open the application. Upon re-opening the application file, you should then elect to “Enable Macros.”

For Excel 2007, before opening the file, you should check to make sure that Excel will run macros. This application will not work properly unless macros are enabled and the macro security setting allows macros to run. To set Excel 2007 to run macros, you must be in the Excel program with no workbooks open.  Click on the "Office Button" in the upper left hand corner. Then follow this path: Excel Options/Trust Center/Trust Center Setting/Macro Settings. Then check the box to "Enable All Macros." You can then re-open the application file and it will run properly.

To Save Completed Applications:

Data from the application is extracted into different databases at MHDC. This is why it is imperative that the application file is received by MHDC uncorrupted. The file should not be linked to other files. There should be no other worksheets inserted or copied into the Excel version of the application. Any attempt to tamper with formulas or alter the application in any way may be cause for automatic rejection of the application.

To save the file on a CD you must utilize a writable CD, either a CD-R or CD-RW. To utilize CD writing applications (check your computer for applicable programs), insert the CD, select the application, and write the completed application file to the CD.

You must save the file to the CD in Excel form only. To help ensure that the Application has been successfully written to the CD, we advise that after you write the file to the CD, eject the CD from your computer. Next, reinsert the CD back into your CD drive. Now make sure you can open the file from the CD using Excel.
