Security issues

[Sue Sweet]

I recently downloaded Office 2000 SP-3 and now when I am in Telemagic (our
database program) and click on the email button, I get the following error:

A program is trying to access email addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do
you want to allow this.

I have sent an email to the telemagic consultant, but I am thinking this has
something to do with SP-3. Any thoughts, ways to correct this?

Thanks,

Sue

I recently downloaded Office 2000 SP-3

Office 2000 Service Pack 3 was released in October 2002 - and you just
installed it now?

and now when I am in Telemagic (our
database program) and click on the email button, I get the following error:

A program is trying to access email addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do
you want to allow this.

Yep, part of the security update that was released over 5 YEARS AGO.
Apparently you leapfrogged the service packs and skipped installing
Service Pack 2 which actually introduced the security update - and
Service Pack 2 was released back in November 2000 - which is over 7
YEARS AGO.

I have sent an email to the telemagic consultant, but I am thinking this has
something to do with SP-3. Any thoughts, ways to correct this?

You'll need to get the developers of that antiquated application to
update it to support the security model that was introduced 5 YEARS AGO.

Have your developers read:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262701/en-us

Although if they don't about this by now then either you haven't done
any development on that product in 6 years or it is no longer supported.
If this is not an in-house database program then fork out the money to
upgrade to a later version that does support the e-mail security update
introduced over half a decade ago. Doesn't look promising according to
the first paragraph at http://www.telemagic.com/. Maybe it is about
time to consider migrating to something else.

While the approach Vanguard suggests (i.e., have the vendor fix their faulty
program), if they can't or won't, try this:

I've also heard of the ClickYes utility
(http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/) which is free in the
Express version. From what I saw described at the MAPIlab site, it
looks like the free version of their utility has more configuration
options than the free Express version of ClickYes.

ClickYes is too insecure. Once you enable it, it applies to everything and
you won't know if some malware takes over and begins sending mail.
