Uh huh!  The lawyers have spoken, Microsoft pays them to much to ignore
them.

You got to be kidding me. Microsoft intentional broke any application that
uses the OOM and provides no mechanism as a means to bypass legitimate
application?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Big Brother security!  Take a look in the
archives for discussions on the use of Redemption or ClickYes for Outlook
security madness.

List,

Our valiant notwork guys installed Outlook 2K sp-3 on a machine here. This
machine has Outlook code that traps the NewMail event then stores certain
messages to a help desk Access database.  Ever since they installed the SP
we're getting popups on every mail that arrives in our admin person's Inbox
requiring her intervention.  The dialog reads:

<annoying_popup>
A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook.
Do you want to allow this?

If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No".
</annoying_popup>

It then asks for how long access should be provided.

Is there any way to get rid of this popup? This admin person does all the
admin for our dept. and gets a lot mail and is quite fed up with clicking
past this thing (she also has to select a check box on the dialog to
continue).

I tried removing the code and writing it into a stand-alone VB app that
traps the NewMail event figuring it was the presence of Macros that caused
it but no luck.

TIA,

Jim DeMarco
