Macro Security Warning - But no macros used in file

[Madoc Pope]

Folks,

I have a MSProj Standard 2003 file that is now displaying a Security Warning
that informs me the file has macros in it and queries whether I want to
Disable or Enable them. Yet when I check under Macros there's none
displayed. This message now comes up every time I open the file. The Macro
Security Level was at Medium and when I reset it to high the Warning went
away. Reseting it to Medium brings the Warning back.

What is causing this? Is there any way I can eliminate it? Has my file
become corrupted?

Thanks,

Madoc

Madoc,
If there are private macros, (normally event type macros), attached to
the file, they will not show up under Tools/Macro/Macros. The warning
went away when you set your security level to high because all except
signed macros are disabled so there is no need to alert you to anything.

To check for private macros, do the following,
1. Go to Tools/Macro/Macros/Visual Basic Editor.
2. Go to View/Project Explorer
3. Scroll down to VBAProject (your file name)
4. Open the Microsoft Project Objects folder
5. Double click on the ThisProject (your file name)

If there are any private procedures (i.e. macros), they will appear in
the code window. At that point you can decide if they are something you
want to run or not. If there is nothing in the code window, open the
Forms and Modules folders and see if there is anything in those folders.
If there is nothing in any of those folders, I suspect you have some
file corruption. To clear file corruption, go to our MVP website at,
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm, and try one of the methods
described in FAQ 43 - Handling file corruption and/or bloat.

Hope this helps.
