The macros in this project are disabled.

Question

_{Wednesday, April 10, 2013 12:00 PM}

I have 2 Macros that work in other computers but in this computer they do not work.  The error message is: 

"The macros in this project are disabled.  Please refer to the online help or documentation of the host application to determine how to enable macros."

I looked at some of the documentation nothing worked.

In Outlook 2010 I went to :

>File>Options>Trust Center>Trust Center setting...>Macro Settings and Enabled All Macros

This did not fix any of the problems.  

Any Suggestions?

Did you restart Outlook after changing the macro security setting?

I fixed it by cutting all the macros then restarted Outlook and reinserted the macros.

What happens if you set it to "Notifications for all macros", and then restart?  You should get prompted to enable macros.

I too have been experience this. Very frustrating. I have a a myriad a code used to manage my inbox and other things.

For a while I was stuck at all security disabled. I think I managed to remove all the code.

Now I can get OUtlook to start w/o error/alerting, but anytime I goto the IDE/Dev panel I get prompted to disable macros, no choice.

ONce in the IDE, any options I choose, result in OLK hard crashing. :(

I had code Digital Certificate for VBA projects signed under 2010 and upgrade apart of 2013 pilot at work.

even thought all the VBA sub components look to be installed I do not see any new certificate app.

I faced with the same error in outlook 2007. Finally, I found that the AntiVirus Addin causes the error. so I disabled the Kaspersky Outlook Antivirus addin from registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\OutlookKLAvPlg.Addin by setting LoadBehavior value to 2.

This could explain why deleting and pasting a module back in is a work around, as it does let you create and run a module the first time..

initially when i created a Module my settings were Notifications for digitally signed macros. (2nd option 2010). Outlook  seems to let you create and run a module in VB IDE the first time- however if you leave outlook (or outlook crashes)  and come back it says you can't run macros. However setting enable all macros.

File>Options>Trust Center>Trust Center setting...>Macro Settings and Enabled All Macros

 You must exit and restart outlook. Your module works.
