Locked from viewing files not listed in VBE Project Explorer as before


After a fresh installation of Windows 11 I am unable to see some of my VB projects in the projects window. These projects were locked for viewing and had passwords set. I know the passwords.

Before the refresh, I could see them listed and was able to operate normally with them. Now, they just don't appear in the VBE Project Explorer. However, they do appear in the PowerPoint Add-in in the Developer tab.


Solution

  • Assuming that you mean you can see your add-ins listed in the VBA IDE:

    Quit PPT if it's running. Start REGEDIT Locate:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\PowerPoint\Options
    

    Under Options, add a new DWORD value named DebugAddins

    Set its value to 1

    Close REGEDIT, start PPT.
