[AccessD] Outlook's annoying habits

Hope and faith fading fast....

For Office XP the information you don't want is in Q290500. "OL2002:
Developer Information About E-Mail Security Features"
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290500)

I note especially, the info near the bottom...
Avoiding the Security Features
The e-mail security features affect all custom solutions that use the
Outlook object model, CDO, or Simple MAPI, even if they are digitally
signed. This includes the following:
*	Outlook custom forms that are published to any folder or forms
library, including the Organizational Forms Library 
*	Outlook COM Add-ins 
*	Outlook Visual Basic for Applications 
*	Any other type of development project that uses the Outlook
object model, CDO or Simple MAPI
As a developer, you have various options when you try to avoid the
security features. To summarize your typical options depending on where
you are developing your solution: 
*	Outlook custom forms: Publish forms so that they are not one-off
forms, or use the administrator features to enable VBScript code in
one-off forms to run. 
*	Outlook Visual Basic for Applications: Use the administrator
features to disable object model restrictions, or convert your Visual
Basic for Applications code to a COM Add-in, and then register it by
using the administrator form. 
*	COM add-ins: COM add-ins can be trusted if an administrator
registers them by using the administrator form. However, when you are
using a COM add-in, only the Outlook object model is exempted; the CDO
object model will still generate warnings.

You cannot trust COM add-ins in Outlook 2000. This was a feature that
was added to the Outlook 2002 version of the administrator form. 
*	Automating the Outlook or CDO object models: Use the
administrator features to disable object model restrictions.
If feasible, you may want to consider redesigning your solution so that
it runs on a server instead of a client. Server-based APIs are not
protected by these e-mail security features.

You may also want to consider using a different messaging API or
library:   

... Blah blah blah

Fine, but what are these administrator features, and where do I get
one..
