I've been running VBA macros in Outlook for years hooked to toolbar buttons. I shut down my computer every night, and I noticed earlier this week that after my morning reboot, none of the macros worked!

I discovered accidentally, though, that by simply opening the Visual Basic editor, they would start working for the day. I don't even need to give the editor mouse-focus, just simply clicking on the "Visual Basic" button on the "Developer" tab causes them to work again.

It's not a huge deal to open the editor every morning, but it seems like I've picked up a new bug from Microsoft, or they changed some setting that I need to update.

Ideas?
