Outlook 2003 macro security problem

Hi

Using Outlook 2003, SP3

I have an extensive set of Outlook macros which have been working fine for

quite some time, no recent changes. Now Outlook hangs when I open it.

I have:

deleted outcmd.dat - no joy

deleted vbaproject.otm - works OK

opened in safe mode - works OK

The only thing that seems to work and still allow macros is to set macro

security to low.

I have deleted all personal certificates and recreated one using selfcert,

but even if I sign the macro code with it, setting security back to High

causes the same problem.

Any ideas?

John Blessing
 
If it works in safe mode, then try turning off other add-ins besides VBA.

What about Exchange client extensions? Add-ins hidden from the Add-ins

dialog?

Also, there are several "flavors" of safe mode you can use to try to

pointpoint the problem: http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/safemode.htm

No COM add-ins, no anti-virus integration. safe:2/3/4 make no difference

There is an "Exchange extensions property pages" listed in the Add-ins

manager, but it is unticked. The only one ticked is Windows CE Support and

unticking it doesn't solve the problem.

If I change security to High then it hangs.

To fix it I have to delete the existing vbaproject.otm, open Outlook, set

security back to low, then put back a copy of my vbaproject.otm

I am pretty sure it is something to do with the certificate.
