[AccessD] OK, ya talked into it

The problem with that is that you have to change your coding.  If I do it
for this client, they Don't have the SPs installed and the code would fail.

A gnarly little problem.  8-(

Ok,

I just wanted to insure that you were aware that Ken's program was not
the problem.  I'm not sure if uninstalling Outlook by itself will remove
the Service Pack.  I believe that you may have to completely uninstall
Office and then reinstall it, up thru SP 1A.  Of course, you could do as
Charlotte suggested; use the Redemption .dll.  And this might be a good
time to start using it so that if you run across a client who has the
security features in their Office products, you will already be familiar
with its use.

John,

I understand that.  The problem from my perspective is that there are
TWO issues with the SP - attachments disappearing and messages prompting
to be sent.  ken's widget fixed one, I didn't think about the other, and
now I have a problem that only uninstalling Outlook and re-installing
will solve.

John,

If the "widget" you're talking about is Ken Slovak's Attachment Options
(http://www.slovaktech.com/attachmentoptions.htm) then his program did
not cause the prompt to appear.  The Office service pack you installed
caused it. (Office 2K, SP 2 or later, and Office XP SP 2).  Ken Slovak's
Attachment Options permits the Outlook user to move attachments from
Level 1 to Level 2.  It does not add the prompt you are now getting.

Forget the widget and use Redemption.  It uses Extended MAPI calls and
bypasses the security issues entirely.  Of course, you could use SMTP,
but that's a different thing altogether.

Well, someone on the list sent a link to a widget that allows me to tell
Outlook to NOT disable certain attachments, so without thinking about it
further, I upgraded to the latest service pack.  Of course NOW... it is
popping up an obnoxious "your an idiot and some code on your computer is
trying to send an email using outlook automation - are you SURE" message
whenever I try and send email programmatically.

So, is there an equivalent widget that will allow me to turn off
Microsoft's attempts to protect themselves from lawsuits?
