VBA code (rules) won't work after reboot

[John66]

First off I am not very knowlegeable about Outook or VBA coding so I
apologize in advance for missing the obvious.

I have created some rules in outlook (actually exported/imported from a
functioning account). The rules basically:
-look for an email with an attachment and with a specific word in the
subject line
-move the email to a different folder
-copy the attachment and place it in a shared system folder (done with VBA
code)

The problem I have is the rules will only work until Outlook is closed down
or the server is rebooted. After that the rules partially work (the VBA code
doesn't). The VBA code is still visible in the editor and the rules still
point to the applicable VBA script. However, the code just doesn't run.

To get around the problem, I delete the .otm file and rebuild (via import of
the .bas files) the VBA project, save it, and close the VBA editor. Until I
close down Outlook again the rules all function properly.

Could anyone describe to me where i am going wrong.

Thanks,
John

Does other VBA code run? If not, check your macro security settings. You
might also put a Debug.Print statement in the Application_Startup event
handler to "wake up" the VBA environment.

Thank you so very much for your help!

The security settings were the problem.
