Unable to open Outlook 2000 Vba forms

[Kurt Vind Christiansen]

After some instability I ran an Windows XP repair. Then
realizing, that I still encoutered problems opening
Visual Basic Macro's i Outlook 2000. I reinstalled
Outlook. This didn't help.
When opening af macro I receive the folowing error
message: Compile error, Automation error, Unspecified
error.
When removing the form and module and saving the
VbaProject.otm. I receive a new error message saying
(Translated from Danish) Save operation failed. This
might be due to lack of space on the harddis, or that the
projectfile is write protected.
There is sufficient space on the harddisk.
Right now, I am feeling pretty much like running in a
circle.

The .otm file itself might be corrupted. Try exporting all the modules, then exiting Outlook and renaming Vbaproject.otm. When you restart Outlook and start VBA again, it will create a new, clean file, into which you can import your modules.

Than you Sue for a clear cut advice. Which solved the initial problem
with Outlook.
However, reimporting the old Outlook macro's olso reimported the
problem, but that is to be delt with another day, now the problem has
been isolated.
