Hello,
my problem is as follows: I have created appr 10 macros to navigate quickly around Outlook 2007. Quite simple VBA macros, which I have copied off a colleague and re- used (I have no VBA programming knowledge myself). That works fine, allowing me to jump from folder to folder, apply views etc by the push of a toolbar button - and even a alt+shortcut. About two months ago, suddenly all my macros were disabled. Ie, when I press the button on the toolbar, the macros does not run. I found out that this was because in the trust center, the macro setting had been reset to 'warnings for signed macros; all unsigned macros are disabled'. So I put the setting back to 'no security check for macros (not recommended). I restarted Outlook (another problem; these days it is not enough to just close Outlook - I have to go into task manager to end the process as well) - and the macros worked fine again. Now, my problem is that every time I then shut my computer down and restarts the day after, my setting is back to 'warnings for all signed....' - and I have to run through the above procedure to get my toolbar shortcuts working again ! It's annoying having to do every time I reboot my computer - and I can't find which part of the MS world it is that resets my macro security setting all the time, without asking me. Can anyone outthere help me ? I have run through the various posts here and also googled the topic, but cannot find a solution. If more information about my settings, software, computer etc is needed, pls let me know. Simon |

This has suddenly happened to me lately as well. In addition, I can't
create a digital certificate using SelfCert to replace my suddenly invalid one that I used to sign my VBA project. It may be a coincidence, but this happened to me shortly after I installed Business Contact Manager.

I'm just guessing it's an add-in, but there's no way to programmatically
change the macro security settings so that seems unlikely. I'm using the Plaxo add-in currently, but not the LinkedIn one anymore. I've had success setting it to "Warning for all macros"; I have to enable them every time Outlook starts, but at least it's remembering that setting. There's clearly something wrong here, so I'll add it to my list of issues to bring up with the product team.

My mistake - the macro security settings are stored in the registry, much to
my surprise. Where it's stored and what the values are is detailed he Eric Legault My Eggo : Changing Outlook's Macro Security Settings: http://blogs.officezealot.com/legaul.../05/21064.aspx I've also noticed that when my settings have mysteriously changed, the entire Level key is gone! -- Eric Legault [MVP - Outlook] MCDBA, MCTS (Messaging & Collaboration, SharePoint Infrastructure, MOSS 2007 & WSS 3.0 Application Development) Collaborative Innovations NEW! - Try Picture Attachments Wizard 2.0 For Microsoft Outlook - Web: http://www.collaborativeinnovations.ca Blog: http://blogs.officezealot.com/legault wrote in message ...
