Visual Basic Editor Not Active

Visual Basic Editor Not Active

Visual Basic Editor Not Active

(OP)
In my Tools-Macro the Visual Basic Editor is dimmed out and when checking in the Tools-Options the editor is also not available so I can't run VBA macros.
We're using v5r12 sp11 if I log on to a different machine it's active.
The only difference between the machines is that I also have v5r15 sp3 (with an extra AC3 license) installed and the VBA works in this version. Our Catia supplier doesn't think that this is the problem.
I looked through the docs and the VBA editor should be there by default.
I appreciate any help on this issue because it's very annoying.

RE: Visual Basic Editor Not Active

There is a bug.  VB Editor is only available to one version at a time, and it is controlled by the last version that someone with Admin Priveledges touched.  See APAR HD42393

Thanx, that's what I call a quick response (just posted it)!
