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.

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

Mark Edmonds1,
Same problem I had this morning when I tried to run a macro from my Global. I asked my MVP colleague Dale Howard about it and he said he doesn't have an issue with Project with Office 365 so I suspect those of us who have the standalone desktop version are the affected users.
How exactly did you implement the registry fix? Perhaps I did it incorrectly but this is how I tweaked it.
And just for kicks, I also added my Project Global as a Trusted location. That made no difference.
For reference, Excel macros run okay on my standalone Office 2019 Pro app.
John
what version do you have exactly?
17928.20114 - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-microsoft365-apps-by-date
Please open a MS support case via M365 Portal > I got a call within 5 minutes ;)
Whats you current VBA Macro Settings look like?
I did this (on Project Desktop version 2408 that we got last night) and it didn't work.
Any ideas? Is this fix just for the Enterprise version?
