Outlook VBA Editor settings keep re-setting
I know this is an old post, but I had the same problem having just reinstalled Windows and Office 365.
I tried saving the Outlook VBA settings, but after each restart (of Outlook), they had reverted to their previous state.
My solution was to open Excel and Outlook VBA editors and change the settings in each. I saved the Outlook and Excel sessions; now the editors have the settings retained across restarts.
I then tried Access VBA editor and had to use the same process (Access and Excel together) in order to save the Access VBA editor window settings.
OK!
I have some trouble figuring out here what and when it saves the changes. In which order did you do stuff here? I've got it to save the changes but I can't realy figure out what triggers it 😃. Is it that something changes in Excel VBA layout that triggers Outlook VBA editor to save it's layout?
Hi Mikael
I don't recall the exact order I made the changes, but I think I did the Outlook VAB Editor settings before those in Excel. I was just trying various permutations to get what I wanted. I think saving the changes happened automatically when I closed Outlook and Excel, but I really don't remember - sorry! :-(
No worries. I tried back and forth to see the logic, though I had it because I managed once or twice to get it to remember my layout 🤪. Feel like "Captain Slow" not finding the pattern here... Good enough, I now have a decent layout, I'll live with that.
Thank you for exercising the 🧠-wrinkles anyhow.
For giggles I could try the feedback wizard in Office to send them a reminder that this is not working.
