Problems With Access and Outlook

[John Lane]

I’ve run into an Access/Outlook 2002 problem, and it
happens using both SendObject and the Outlook MAPI
interface. Outlook now throws up a message box saying that
a user is accessing the address book (I’m not) to send
email and do I (the user) say it is OK, and the user has
to click Yes/No. I suspect the famed Outlook security
patch is causing this. Is there a way to disable this
message and send silently? Thanks.

And, it is really not a good habit to multi-post. To quote Access MVP Doug
Steele, who explains better than I could:

"If you feel you need to post to more than one group (HINT: it's seldom
necessary), please have the courtesy to cross-post (send the one message to
all groups at once), rather than multi-post (send individual messages to
each group). In this way, all responses to your post will be available
together, regardless of what group the responder was in, and the rest of us
won't have to read your post multiple times. (It also uses fewer server
resources)

"If you're using Microsoft's web interface to post, please note that you can
type the names of the various groups into the Newsgroup box. Separate each
newsgroup name with a semicolon.

"Note that it's generally consider to be A Bad Thing to cross-post to more
than about 2 or 3 newsgroups. (In fact, at

Microsoft suggests that "One group will suffice")"

How do you cross post?

If you are using Outlook Express, in the NewsGroups: box, add the newsgroups
to which you want to post and separate each with a semi-colon.

Really, just a personal opinion ... If you'll review a random selection of
responses in all of the Access newsgroups, you'll see that the frequent
responders do not confine themselves to reviewing questions in just one or
two newsgroups - they pretty much review all the groups! A post with a
subject line that clearly states the elements of the problem and a question
with enough detail to make a good suggestion or diagnosis (such as yours)
will get a response just as quickly even if it is posted in only one group.
