Couldn't you use a late binding approach? If you use CreateObject() to
create the objects, it will compile and run fine without the DLL being
installed. Then, you only would have to install the DLL on the machines
with the functionality enabled.

Yes, redemption bypasses the entire problem... and creates a whole new
set. Redemption is "programmed to", i.e. you have to change your code to
use it. Once you do that it has to be available on the computer or you
will get runtime (or compile) errors. It also has to be registered
(installed) on each machine. The specific system I am working on is
installed on about 30 machines, but only 2 actually send email. I don't
particularly want to install redemption on 30 machines so that 2 can
send email. Not to mention having to (remember to) install it on every
machine in the future.
Actually, in this case the client has not installed the SPs that causes
the issue so I don't need Redemption there at all. OTOH, my dev machine
now prompts me for every email I try to send. If I install Redemption
on my machine and program to it, do I then have to install it on the
client machines even though they don't need it?
As you can see, Redemption may be an answer in certain situations. It
can also be a PITA in others.

John,
I might have the name a little wrong. In a company that uses Exchange
for email, there is an Outlook Security Administration screen that IT
administrators can use to turn on and off the annoying message. I think
the screen can choose for each user, and for each different application
trying to send a non-displayed email through Outlook (or Express?). If
you have a stand-alone PC you can't turn off the message for Outlook
email, as far as I know. But it sounds like Redemption bypasses the
whole problem.
HTH,
Dan

Charlotte,
Where could I learn about Redemption code? I expect to hit the 'are you
sure' message problem fairly frequently. I could instruct the IT folks
at my clients on how to the Outlook Security Administrator's tools, but
I would like to avoid it.
Thanks!
Dan

John,
Redemption code will work whether or not the service packs are there.
The only thing that must be there is the CDO library and you can test
for that.

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?
