Anyone seen or have any information on how or what could cause the option to create a new VBA macro to not be available in Rumba 10.1 SP1?  Under Tools - New MAcro - i can see EML and RMC options.  there is no option for VBA.  Also when i add the VBA Ediotr buttion to my toolbar, it is grayed out.  it is like Rumba cannot open or see the VBA editor to create a macro.

Hi Robert,

In Rumba+ Desktop you have 2 possibilities to create VBA macros.

1. The Rumba Script Engine (ScriptEngine.msi)
The Rumba Script Engine is a separate application provided alongside Rumba+ to create and modify VBA Rumba+ scripts.

2. VBA Macro Add-On - (VBAddon.exe)
The VBA Add-On provides the ability to write more complex and powerful automation. The VBA Add-On uses standard VBA functionality, IDE and allows you to run, record, and edit macros from and to a
common Macro Module shared between all sessions.
The VBA Add-On does not come with the rumba license.

If you need the VBA Add-on please contact your Micro Focus Sales Representative or Support.

best regards

to clarify, we have purchased the VBA addon and it is installed on the machines, but the option to use it is not available.

I assume something changed the  Microsoft Visual Basic Design Runtime dll. (VBE7.dll).
This runtime dll is required. Did you try to reinstall the addon or try a  repair with msiexec.exe /fa {D2D757E5-AFAD-4F7F-9873-7BE813CD43F5}.
