Enable the CA Clarity PPM Microsoft Project Interface Macro

If you are using a Microsoft Project version older than version 2010, execute the CA Clarity PPM Microsoft Project Interface macro. The MSPAdd2k.MPP file is the Microsoft Project Interface macro that adds CA Clarity PPM Integration as a toolbar or menu in Microsoft Project.

Verify the following before enabling the macro:

• Macro security for Microsoft Project 2002 and Microsoft Project 2003.
  • For Microsoft Project 2002. From Tools, Macros, Security, verify that security is set to Medium.
  • For Microsoft Project 2003 or Microsoft Project 2007. On the Security tab of the Tools, Options, verify that the macro security is set to Medium.
• Close all instances of Microsoft Project.

Follow these steps:

1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where the Microsoft Project Interface macro is stored. By default:

   C:\Program Files\CA\Clarity\CA Clarity PPM MSPInterface\data
   

2. Double-click the MSPAdd2k.MPP file.

   Note: Do not open this file from Microsoft Project using File, Open.

   A dialog appears prompting to enable macros.

3. Click Enable Macros.

   Microsoft Project launches and a dialog appears to display CA Clarity PPM Integration as a toolbar or menu.

4. Select either Toolbar or Menu and click OK.

   The macro is enabled and the setup is complete.
