How do I stop incoming messages from checking my address book?

Each time that an email comes in on Outlook, an exception box comes up asking
if I want to let the sender on the incoming email get addresses from my
address book. I always check "no" and go on. It's a inconvenience to always
have to do this on every email. Isn't there a way to make "no" my default
answer?

What is the exact text of the message you see? Always include your
version/mode/SP level of Outlook (from Help | About), what kind of mail
account(s) you use, and any other pertinent details....

I use Outlook 2002. When I received a new email, an exception box comes
across with Microsoft Outlook at the top. It states the following:

A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook.
Do you want to allow this?

If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No."

At the bottom of the box, there is a box to check and then you can allow
access for a number of minutes that you choose from a drop down box or you
can simply check yes. You can also check no which doesn't allow any access
whatsoever.
This is very inconvenient as emails simply don't come across until I click
"no" on every single email and then the email will come into my email server.
Is there a way to have a fixed or default setting of no so I'm not clicking
no each time?

Are you saying that this happens when the message arrives or when you open
it to read it? If the latter, are you using Word as the email reader? If
so, the cause could be Adobe Acrobat's PDFMaker add-in.

If it happens when the message arrives and not when you try to read it, I
have to say I've never heard of this happening, but it must be due to either
an add-in or active content within the message.
