HELP ! how do I create auto-prompt in attachments for confidential

E

EST

How do I create a pop-up prompt that will come up when clicking on the
attachment (ppt presentation) enabling the recipient to agree to certain
confidentiality conditions before opening the attachment.
Conversely, if recipient does not agree, shouldn't be able to open the
attachemnt.

I've been searching for over 2 weeks and haven't been able to find an answer.

There's an AttachmentRead event but it cannot be canceled. There is no
BeforeAttachmentRead and no way to know when a user has clicked on an
attachment in the UI.

isn't there something that would work just like the "I aggree" or "I don't
agree" prompts that appear when installing or downloading software, etc...
that could be replicated and used when sending confidential attachments

No.

The only way I can think of would be to intercept the Windows message to
open a new window and see if it's an attachment window and then swallow the
Windows message so the window doesn't get created. How well that would work
and if it would cause any instability for Outlook is another question.
