Error description

  • VBA macro password protected and Enable automatic macros
    is enabled, however, when SA starts the macro does not run.
    Then Run macro from Macro menu is needed.
    
    If the password protection is disabled then the macro will
    automatically run when SA starts.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • VBA macro password protected and Enable automatic macros
    is enabled, however, when SA starts the macro does not run.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Before SA runs the auto macro we check if it exists. The problem
     is that the macro is locked so the check fails, we assume it
    doesn't exist, and don't bother running the macro.
    

Temporary fix

  • Remove the password from the macro.
