Outlook VBA macros not visible in the script

Question

I got several issues when i wanna run a macro in the script of Outlook.

1. Some macros not visible in the macro list of VBA.

When there are words in Sub (), the macros are not visible in the macro list. They become visble when it keeps as Sub (). For example, in the pic below, Macro "Test 222" is visible in the macro list but Marco "Template" is not.

2. Macros not visible in the script

The macros not visible in macros list are visible in the script but they cannot be run. Those i can find under macro list in VBA are not visible in the script. In the pic below, only Macro "Template" is visible but when i run this, it shows the macro does not exist. Macro "Test 222" is not visible in the script list at all.

Anyone knows why?

Answer 1

Hi, I'm Diane and I'm happy to help you today.

The only macros visible in the Run a script rule are specially formatted with the object name in the macro name - that is why the template macro is visible but the other macros are not. You cannot run these macros manually - you need to call them using a rule or another script.

The only macros that display in the macro list are the ones without the object in the name - the ones with only ().

Let me know how it goes, I'm here to help you further if needed.

Hi Diane,

Happy to have your reply.

Understood that only those formatted with object name are visible under Run a script rule. May I know why it shows script does not exist when i try to run Macro "Template"? It used to work but somehow it is not working now. Error message shown as below. Thanks!

Answer 3

Is the Template script named in the rule? Based on the "" - it appears not.

Answer 4

Yes "Template" is the name of the macro. Whatever macros i tried to run under Run a script shows the same error message, which is very weird.

Answer 5

Is the macro listed in the rule? Based on the error, it appears a macro was not selected for the rule.
