[AccessD] Independent Developers Question

Just remember there is a limit to testing, sometimes it is better to 
keep track of known failure points

For example an Access program that calls Outlook
A wise programmer might use late binding via
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
This way I avoid any reference version problems with Outlook.
Good move developer.

But OH NO, Symantec and other AntiVirus programs
have recently taken to add script blocking on the above statement,
to avoid address book theft in Outlook. And Access throws a 429 error

Now do you go back to writing everything with early binding
or just have a good cry.
