Hi there,

I had to renew a certificate on my PC. After that, the VBAProject.otm is
simply not read anymore. Tools|Run Macro will show me an empty list, none of
my macros visible. The old certificate does not exist on my PC anymore.

I can create a new VPAProject.otm by renaming the old, starting Outlook 2003
and go to the VBA editor with Alt-F11. As soon as I replace this newly
created VBAProject.otm with my old one containing my macros, i won't see any
of my code.

macro security is set to none for checking if it was a security level
problem. No change.

What can I do to get my macros back? Any other trick to make Outlook 2003
recognize my VBAProject.otm file again? Or is there a way to extract my code
from it?

thanks

dan

My common sense tells me that the VBAProject.otm file should be at least
read by Outlook, so that I should see the code in the VBA editor. have the
code not running because I have a different certificate now seems logical.

But I see nothing at all in there... no code... nada :-(

How big is your old VBAProject.otm file? Is there a chance that it doesn't
have any code in it either? See if any of the KB articles below apply to
your situation:

Salut Eric,

My VBAProjects.otm is still 242KB big and I had it untouched since April
last year.. just using the makros I had in there.
I signed it with a certificate that ran out last week. I had to get a new
one and since then, the Makro's in that file are not visible anymore.

when I start the editor with Alt-F11, I can't see anything at all... Just an
empty "Project1". I can create a new VBAProject.otm file, no problem. But I
want to get my makros back :-(

I thought I could copy the VBAProject.otm file to another computer and open
it from there. theoretically it should be possibly, right? (I only had
Outlook XP available on the other PC, I have Outlook 2003..). As far as I
understood, even a signed .otm file should be readable. Or am I mistaken?

is there any way to extract my makros?

thanks
dan
