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

    Hey all.
    John/Mark,
    I was going to give updates on how my IT just resolved everything yesterday in changing cenrtraly the update policy frrom current chanel to semi-annual chanel (fix suggested for us by the MS Support yesterday morning) because on this semi-annual channel, the Version is 2402:

    then I saw your last message and went to see if this new policy had impacted my own version. Did not. On the contrary, I realized that my version updated again to 2408 with no warning (did not use MSP today). So I tried macros execution and exactly as dor you : it works also!!
    wordI would say WTFuss ???

    Did the MSO team modify the last release without to increment the build ? or as you said, is it a Win fix??

    Will we ever know ?

    Have a nice weekend

    Fabrice

    Now [Microsoft® Project 2016 MSO (Version 2408 Build 16.0.17928.20114) 64 bits], VBA working!
