Unable to access VBA in Outlook 2003

I'm unable to access any item under the Tools | Macro
menu in Outlook 2003. All submenu items are enabled, but
nothing happens when I try to activate them. Alt-F8 and
Alt-F11 have no effect either.

I have no problem accessing Macros, Security settings or
the VBA Editor in all other Office applications. I've
tried an Office Detect & Repair, and also uninstalled
Outlook and reinstalled it, but the problem still
persists.

Very frustrating - can anybody help?
 
THis can happen if some other program starts Outlook, such as a PDA sync tool. Try shutting down Outlook, checking Task Manager to make sure it's shut down, then restarting.

I had similar symptoms and deleted the following registry key and it now
works fine.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Resiliency\Disable
dItems]

(You should probably backup the registry before making changes)
 
I'm having a similar problem accessing Macro options for OL2000.
I've been working on a COM add-in, I don't know if that's the culprit.
I can't find the pre-mentioned reg key to delete for 2000.

Help.
 
Had a similar problem. Found that in the Help menu, About section there
was a button for disabled items. You could then choose to re-enable
them. I found that the VBA addin for outlook had been disabled.

Having problems getting some code to work, and think this might be
involved in causing my problem, at least.
