Cannot access macros, security settings or VBA editor in OL 2003

[Boxington Headmaker]

Hello all,

I've run into a problem on 3 separate machines (of 75) where the user cannot
access the macros, security settings or VBA editor in Outlook 2003. The
menu items are there but clicking them has no effect.

Researching this on the net there are various options. I've tried the
detect and repair office and fully uninstalling and reinstalling Office to
no avail. If I delete the user profile from the machine, and recreate it,
it starts working again.

All the machines in the office are built from an image and Office is
installed via a GPO, so I'm pretty sure that the software is okay. Users
aren't allowed to install any 3rd party software - so I don't think that
this is causing any issues.

Does anybody have any ideas, I'd prefer not to have to go round each machine
and reset the profiles, reinstall printers etc. if I could find out why this
is happening?

Many thanks,
Boxington

Frposted from another group, for anybody else who has this problem:

Did you try Help/About/Deactivated Items? Maybe you can activate VBA
there.

You Sir, are my personal saviour. This worked perfectly after re-enabling
the VBA add-in and rebooting the PC.

Many, many thanks,
Box
