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

    Same problem here for all users who got Version 2406 and no problems for the 2405 users

    Does the 2407 solve it already?

    I would be happy to learn a way how to enable macros in the Global Enterprise Template. For all other files it is possible to unblock Marcos in the file properties, but since the Global Enterprise Template can not be saved locally, the local unblocking mechanism does not work.

    @Microsoft Support - please show us a way how to deal with this issue.
