All macro dialog boxes are blank

When Outlook opened this morning I received an error message about vba not
being able to run or something like that. I foolishly neglected to capture
the exact error. I was given the choice to disable vba and took that choice.
Not surprisingly when Outlook opened, none of the macro tools (Macros,
Security, or Visual Basic Editor) did anything. I click them and nothing
happens. I am running Windows XP SP 2, and Office 2003 SP 2. I have tried
uninstalling and reinstalling Office, but nothing seems to be working. Any
ideas on how I can get the macro functionality back. We do not have any
Group Policies that would prevent macros from running. To the best of my
knowledge I don't have any other applications trying to connect to Outlook
(PDA, Fax, etc.)

Any thoughts??

Thanks

That was it, Sue. I wasn't even aware of that setting. I wish I had found
it before I did an uninstall and reinstall of Office. I also wish I had paid
closer attention to the error message that popped up. I'm pretty sure there
were instructions about re-enabling it.

Thanks again.
 
By the way, I meant to let you know how much I appreciate your articles in
the Exchange & Outlook Administrator news letter.
