Macro Not found.

[Sumit]

Hi,

I am getting following error while trying to access use MSP. We use MSP to
schedule workplan and then integrate it with Oracle Apps.
All the Macro files are in place. We have never seen error like this before.

The macro "Preferences" cannot be found.

Try the following:

Verify that you spelled the macro name correctly.

If the global template file has been accidentally deleted, replace it by
first closing Project, and then copying the Backup.mpt to Global.mpt.

Be sure that the project file containing the macro is currently open.

Please help!!

Is the macro Preferences really there?
How are you opening Project? Clicking on a file? Or a shortcut?
Try going to the windows start menu/run and type winproj.exe

I do not think that the message that you are seeing is one from project. It
is probably related to your oracle apps integration. I'd do what it says
first, then call the people who set up your oracle apps integration.

Hi,

You can always verify the following

- Verify that macro security is low enough (only low is really 'safe" when
you run macro's)
- Verify that all rferences are properly set in VBE, Tools, References. If
one is missing you get (quoting from memory) about the message you show.

Also, in addition to Jack's and Jan's advice ... identify what changed.
Something changed. Computers don't just suddenly stop working.
Something changed somewhere.
