Windows 10 - Dynamics GP - Cannot Open Log File - Macro Problem

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Posting this nuance out there for anyone else having a similar issue.  My problem was that when I upgraded one of my machines to Windows 10, the macros recorded in Dynamics GP started failing with a strange error.  <Cannot Open Log File (Line #0)>  Not all of the macros would fail.  On top of that, sometimes the macro would run once, then fail thereafter.  I am running Dynamics GP 2015.

The problem was that the macro file was creating a local log file on the c: drive.  I believe this creation of the local log file was seen by windows/windows defender as being malicious and consequently shut it down.  

Hope this helps someone else out there!  Stumped me for a very long time....

    Have you changed the log file to a different location?

    I am having this issue with a co-worker who has a new computer using Windows 10. How do I solve this problem?

    Leslie,

    I'm having this problem at a client. I've granted permissions to the users to the Dynamics install folder, but I'm still getting the error.  Where can you change the location of the macro log file?

    Thank you, 

    Scott
