I wrote a VBA macro for a client some months ago, and now need to update it. I wrote it on a machine at their site but emailed myself a copy of the final version as well as saving it (and many previous versions) in their source control (CVS) The machine I wrote it on no longer exists The macro is in a document which they open and it automatically runs when they open the document. When I now open that document, I can no longer edit it or view the source code. I get a msg box headed 'Project Locked' with the message 'Project is unviewable'. I have tried to open it on several machines. I have tried opening both the latest version from their CVS and the copy I emailed myself (which should be identical anyway), but always get this same message. I have tried retrieving the previous version from CVS but it also gets the same problem. Version of Word (2003) is the same as what I wrote it on. There was never any password on the macro and I never tried to protect it in any way, I desperately need to access this macro so that I can update it - can anybody thow any light on how to get around this problem? Correct on both counts, It is in a document, and is not in the startup folder. My initial web search found plenty of advice about the startup folder problem, and also some suggestions that the problem could be caused by launching word by double clicking on the document (rather than starting word and then opening the doc from the file menu), but the doc has never been in the startup folder and I also eliminated the launch method suggestion. One other suggested solution that I found somewhere was to add and then remove a certificate, but I also eliminated that possibility (generated cert, added it and then removed it) In the VB Editor I cannot even look at the project properties (same 'Project Locked' error) and it does not show any certs under Tools/Digital Signature. I will try to get permission from my client to upload the file if I remove their logo etc from the document. My client just called to say that they have found a machine where they can open the macro.
