Outlook XP VB Security Issue

[Bret Margetis]

Hi There

I have a problem between a database program and Outlook.
We are using Windows XP, Office XP, everything is service
packed.

Specifically, when we use the email function from the
database program, it prompts as follows:

"A program is trying to automatically send email on your
behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected,
it may be a virus ......" Yes, No, Help."

The problem here is that when performing an email to
potentially several hunderd or even a couple of thousand
people, waiting 5 seconds each time to be able to press Y
is a major drama. If you click on Help, the following is
displayed....

************************************************
A program is trying to automatically send e-mail using a
Microsoft Outlook Visual Basic Application command,
Item.Send. If you want this program to send this e-mail,
click Yes. To stop the program, click No. If you are
unsure which program is sending the e-mail or why, you
may want to click No to avoid any possible spread of
viruses.

Note When this message is displayed, the Yes button is
not available for 5 seconds.
************************************************

Is there any easy way around this problem?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question.

Regards

Bret

If you are using Exchange you can set up a security form to allow that
method but it opens everyone you allow it for to be open to viruses
using that method. You can also recode the function to use Extended
MAPI (C++ or Delphi only) or Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption).
You can also use Express ClickYes.

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/admin.htm and

information.
