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.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\MS Project\Settings]

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.

That would be too much of a coincidence. First name is Jason.

Mark (John) and others who have a click-to-run standalone version of Project.
Oh hoo! Finally a "fix" that actually works. What a mess. Too many versions, too little testing.

Hey a fellow Edmonds that does project scheduling, cheers.
I had the same issue, the registry fix would not work and I had to revert to an older versioning of MS Project Pro.
