VBA Editor opens every time I unlock computer

Hi,

I'm experiencing this weird situation that every time I unlock my PC, VBA editor shows up magically.

I'm using Windows XP sp 2 and MS-Outlook 2000

Any advice would be appreciated!!!

Thanks

Hello ralmada,

the VBA Editor pops up with the key combination ALT+F11 so are you maybe pressing those keys in unlocking the machine?

Hi bruintje,

Nop, I am not pressing those keys when unlocking my pc.

I forgot to mention that this happens only when I open the VBA editor, and then close it. It doesn´t occur when I first enter the outlook.

Thanks.

could you describe precisely what happens

- you have outlook open
- you open the vb editor
- then close the vb editor
- your computers goes on screen saver
- when you unlock it the vb editor springs up?

That's exactly what's happening. :)

This is funny, I get this all the time. It also happens when I go back and forth to and from ANY application that utilizes full screen.

In case anyone else finds this question, this MSKB article says "it's a problem with these product" (which includes Office 2003 and 2007.

Nice, eh?

One other (non-ideal) idea to fix this:

If you do have to work in the VBA editor at some point, close all the way out of Outlook and then go back in. The next time you lock your machine (or it goes to the screensaver), it won't open the editor again. That's not much fun but it does resolve this issue.
