We've had numerous discussions on this topic.  Many of us use Redemption
(http://dimastr.com/redemption/home.htm) to handle this, since it uses
extended MAPI calls and bypasses the security holes in Outlook.  Another
option is ClickYes.

Subject: [AccessD] Outlook security and SendObject?


I've been struggling with an app that uses the SendObject command to
send eMail from within an Access app.  My client is VERY frustrated with
the additional delay that Outlook security builds in, having to click
'OK' and then wait for the progress bar every time the app needs to
generate an eMail.

I was just reading this article: 
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;262701

That outlines dome of the developer issues regarding Outlook security.
But it did not offer an concrete workarounds aside form a mention that
an administrator can grant a user sufficient permissions to ignore the
new security.  I guess if you could programatically defeat it, it
wouldn't be security.  ;)

Surely I am not the only one who has to deal with an app that send
eMail?  There must be a way to avoid the additional wait and mouse
clicks that Outlook security requires.  Anyone dealt with this before?
