Re: Outlook 2k3: VBA will not start

Another possible cause of these symptoms is that Outlook is never really shutting down between sessions. If you restart Windows, do you get the same results?

I just found I had this same problem and I checked the Help..About.. and
nothing was disabled. My problem is that VBA doesn't seem to get started or
be recognized. I have attempted to re-install the Shared VBA part of MS
Office, as directed in the Help for Outlook, but it doesn't seem to want to
install (remains a white cabinet, not a grey one). Any thoughts?

I have two PCS: at work: Win/2000 running Office/2000... at home: Win/XP-Pro
running Office/2003. My problem is with my home Office/2003 and specifically
Outlook/2003.

I have written a visual basic macro on my "work" PC for Outlook/2000.
Please don't tell me how stupid I was... but I assumed that Outlook/2003
would handle the Outlook/2000 VbaProject.OTM in much the same way Word
2000/2003 accesses Normal.dot. Outlook/2003 doesn't.

This is what I did: I copied the Outlook/2000 VbaProject.OTM into the
Outlook/2003 directory at C:\Documents and Settings\Chuck\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Outlook/2003 started-up just fine. I accessed the
visual basic code without problem. I exited Outlook/2003 without any errors.

However, when I came back to my Outlook/2003 module and started-up the
visual basic editor - nothing happened. I click on the option Tools --->
Macro ---> Visual Basic Editor and nothing happens. Period. Alt+F8 is dead
and Alt+F11 does nothing, either.

I changed the name of VbaProject.OTM to VbaProject.SAVOTM, clicked on the VB
Editor, and still nothing happens.

All other options of Outlook/2003 work just fine... it is just that I cannot
start the VB editor, nor do I get the Tools ---> Macro ---> Macros dialogue
box.

How do I fix it????
If I need to Add/Remove Outlook and then do a complete reinstall, what do I
need to do to preserve my existing folders/contacts/etc????

By the way I did run the "Detect and Repair" option off of the CD. There
was no change in the way the VB Editor responded.

Many thanks!
