[Ramana]

Hi,
I have written a VB script to access outlook public folders and save all the
messages to file system using saveas method of mail item.
While running this script I am getting the security warning dialog (A
program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do
you want to allow this?" ).
I think this dialog should come if we access outlook address book through
script / VBA. But

1) Why I am getting this security warning when I am NOT accessing the
address book in my script?
2) How to get rid of this dialog as I would like to run this script in
un-attended mode (Scheduled task)

Advance Help

Thanks,
Ramana

Without seeing your script code it's hard to say what you are doing that is
triggering the security prompts. See

about the Outlook automation security.

1) Saving an item as a file is a secured method because files can be used to
harvest addresses.

2) Since this is a public folder application, consider converting it to an
Exchange event sink.
