Outlook 2003 - Macros not operational

[David C. Jenner]

Sue, This problems persists no matter what people try. Haven't you seen the more than half-dozen posting concerning this in this forum? It is obviously a bug in Outlook 2003. Please pound Microsoft on the head to fix it. I have been unable to use Macros in Outlook 2003 for many months now, no matter what I do. Thanks, Dave

If you have somehow managed to have both Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003
installed on the same machine, I'm not surprised that you're still having
problems. (In fact, I'd expect more.)

Thank you for responding.

I don't have a PDA or anything else that accesses Outlook. I do have
an anti virus program which I shut down. I then went to task manager
to make use Outlook was shutdown, it was. I opened Outlook 2003 and
tried to access my macros. I got the same error message.

I then tried Outlook 2000 and I could access my macros. I realize
there may be some deleterious interaction between the two Outlooks,
but even when I had only Outlook 2003 installed I still had the
problem.

Thank you for your help.

You can't have two versions of Outlook running on the same machine. You were
on the right track with your original installation -- using a separate
directory. Installing Office 2003 should have removed Outlook 2000.

The most common cause for this situation seems to be that some other program
is starting Outlook without any user interface. It could be PDA sync,
antivirus, or fax software. Close Outlook and use Task Manager to make sure
that it's really shut down. Then restart and try macros again.

Yes, of course I've seen the other posts, but cpod's configuration sounds
unique (and possibly messed up in general) as I noted. If the problem
persist and you have exhausted all known troubleshooting steps, the next
course of action is to file a support incident with Microsoft at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;en-us;incidentsubmit. You
will need a .Net Passport, but there should be no charge for filing the
request for help if you have a retail version of Office or Outlook.
