[Dennis Rose]

In Outlook 2000, How can I stop the message "A program is trying to
automatically send email on your behalf. Do you want to allow this?"

What Outlook setting do I need to change?

I know how to stop it in Outlook Express"

Help!

Do you even know what program is attempting to use Outlook to send e-mail?
If so, there was a reason to hide your knowledge of it and what it is?

Don't run the program that is attempting to usurp Outlook as its e-mail
client.

Get a newer version of that program which obeys the security model in
Outlook.

Outlook Express doesn't have this security so you did not "stop it" in OE.

Lets you decide whether or not a program always gets access to Outlook's
objects and controls. It also will identify just what is the program that
is trying to do this -- which seems to be your situation (of not knowing)
based on your complete lack of its description of what is "it" that is
trying to use Outlook.

Thanks for the reply.

The program trying to use Outlook is one I wrote. I have a VB5 pgm that
automatically sends emails to customers instead of salespeople having to
manually send the emails. I need to have this progam run with Outlook just
like it does with Outlook Express, ie not stopped by Outlook. How can I do
this?

Thanks again for your help!!

one solution is in my prior reply. For how to properly code your program to
obey Outlook's security model, a programming group might be able to help.
I'd have to go searching MS Technet to find info on it again.

Apart from re-programming, or using the mapilab tool, you can search for
clickyes - a small program that will automatically intercept that dialog and
click Yes for you. Of course there is a security risk, but pretty minor IMO
if you have decent AV software.

click Yes for you.

As I recall, ClickYes had to run as a background process. It was always
running. The only time you need its function is when Outlook is loaded. So
using an add-on, like the one from MapiLab (free), seems a smarter choice.
Of course, I'm the type that doesn't like to waste memory while a process is
incapable of performing its function.

Also, Mapilab's add-on identifies what is trying to access Outlook.
ClickYes will auto-OK regardless of what tries to use Outlook. So there is
a definite security risk in using ClickYes.

Considering how ClickYes works, you could also use AutoHotkeys or AutoIt to
write your own macro that runs with that particular dialog window appears
(but again you have to leave the macro program running all the time).
