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

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....

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,

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

Have you changed the log file to a different location?
