Any COM add-in you install in Outlook 2003 is automatically trusted. That means, Outlook 2003 bypasses all the security prompts. It's my understanding that any code written in Outlook's VBA editor is trusted -- so I probably should've been more specific on that point, but the add-in business can get you around that sometimes. It's a start. Also, you can update the registry and upgrade the danger status of file types by listing their extensions -- so you can more easily control what you can download now. Again, not the complete fix we'd like, but a good start. What I hate is backing up the BCM -- a new add-in. That's a circus. Well, backing it up isn't the problem -- reverting to the back up is a real pia. Susan H. Susan, Are you referring to a VBA module within Outlook? Because I've heard the opposite with regard to Outlook being automated from external code.
