Macros in this project are disabled
I have created a simple macro to copy and format some data
from one spreadsheet to another. Somehow, when I now open the .xls file with the macros, I DO NOT get the message that I normally got: "There are macros in this file, do you want to enable or disable them." However, when I try to run the macro (through an I get the following error Visual Basic Error Message: "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." However, when I stop recording, a new macro appears in the list of macros (which I cannot edit or run). Excel documentation has nothing that seems to help. The only references that I can find are related to the warning window when excel finds macros (that I noted above that I do not get now when I open the file). If I go to Tools|Macro|Macros I find: 1. the name listed as worksheetname.xls!Module1.macroname instead of just macroname 2. Edit, Create, Delete, Options are all greyed out. However, I can go to Tools|Macro|VisualBasicEditor and the macro pops up in the VB editor. But I cannot find anything that indicates any "disabled" state. If I try "Record Macro" in a new file, it seems to work. If I try to "Record Macro" in the file that has macros disabled, I get the stop-recording window, but when I try to do anything in the spreadsheet (e.g. type text in a cell) I get Excel Error: "Cannot run Visual Basic macro because of a syntax error." Note, I am running Office 2000 under XP Home. Other accounts do not seem to be affected (they still operate as I did, prior to whatever "happened" to me). If I access the spreadsheet with the macro from another account, it runs as expected (excel shows the warning window about macros, and if I click enable, then I can run the macro). Anyone got any suggestions? If you reply to the list, I'd also appreciate it if you could cc: my email address as well - Thanks, -ceej PS At one point I made the following change to the Tools|Options|General tab. I changed the default file location from MyDocuments to Desktop and added MyDocuments as the alternate startup location. This caused a different set of problems whenever excel was opened, even just a blank new file. (It was trying to open folders in MyDocuments as files) I have since reverted to the original values and those problems cleared up immediately. |
