Macros that we wrote in Project Online in the Enterprise Global template are now disabled with the latest office upgrade.

Hi,

We upgraded to the latest office version and now when we open MS Project and try to connect to our online profile, the only option we see is to Disable macros. Earlier we also had Enable Macros as an option. Can you pl let us know what we can do to retrieve that option?
I tried attaching a PNG file and also JPG file of the error message but the upload image function is failing here.

Folks, We found an answer to this by talking to Microsoft. It requires registry update.

Save the below content into a updateMacro.reg file in your desktop. Run this file and it will do the magic of enabling the macros.
*****
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\MS Project\Settings]

"Fix9072568"=dword:00000101

Please don't tell me your first name is John, because that's really my first name!

Yes, the guy from Microsoft recommended to roll back to Version 2407. Here are the instructions for anyone interested.

  1. Launch Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following command one after the other
  2. cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun
  3. OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.17830.20166

    That's weird as our IT manager did put us on semi-annual weeks ago to make sure we do not get any updates untill the final fix is released and proven... and my MSP version was nevertheless updated to Version 2409 (Build 18025.20104) and is working (runnning VBA macros) without any trouble (as it worked before all that BS...).
    I just checked, I still have the Fix9072568 d-word reg in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\MS Project\Settings

    Don't know if it matters...

    Good luck Florian.

    There is still no fix available and still broken with Version 2409 (Build 18025.20104) September Update.

    Registry Fix not working anymore. Microsoft Support is not responding for over a week now.

    Update from Microsoft Support:

    „We have deployed the fix for the issue, and it is expected to reach the global audience by mid-October or earlier, depending on the update channel.

    Users on the Semi-Annual, Monthly Enterprise Channel, and Current Channel of January 2024 should receive the update by this week. All others on the 2016, 2019, and 2022 versions will receive the update by mid-October.“
