SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project, if you use any of the following window commands while the macro recorder is running, nothing is recorded:

WORKAROUND

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.
To use any of the above commands in a macro in Microsoft Project, edit the macro and type the command instead of using the macro recorder. For example, to restore the application window, use the WindowState property of the Application object as follows: 
   Application.WindowState=pjNormal
To restore the document window, use the WindowState property of the ActiveWindow object as follows: 
   ActiveWindow.WindowState=pjNormal
