Error Message "program trying to access e-mail addresses"
Everytime I select "new" to create a new email I get a dialogue box that pops
up and tells me that "a program is trying to access e-mail address you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to all this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose No". I always choose "No" and am able to proceed normally. I've running Outlook XP with Office SP3. I am also always running NAI Vscan version7 with the latest dat and enginea and I've got all scanning options turned on for all file types, so I am pretty confident that a virus hasn't snuck into my computer. My question is, upon recieving this error message is there any way to determine what program is trying to access my addresses (i.e. my email editor aka MSWord, or a virus)? Thanks in advance. |

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems for inforamtion
on programs that might be causing this. There's no way to tell from the message itself. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Vipernsx" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the site. It turned out to be the Acrobat add-in for Word. I realy
have to question Microsofts business practices when they start making it harder for applications outside of thiers to integrate with theirs. I suppose soon you won't be able to use anything Non-Micorsoft with a microsoft product. I'll stop my ranting now before I get on a roll. Thanks for the help!

That's the price you pay for security these days. If Microsoft didn't
continue to tighten security as they have in SP3, they'd be criticized for not doing so. Since dozens, if not hundreds, of other Outlook applications have been able to avoid the prompts. There's no reason the folks at Adobe can't do the same. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Vipernsx" wrote in message ...

I need a way to prevent this type of message and dialog box from coming up
when I run my own Outlook 2000 VBA macros. I have a program that does some auto email responding and the dialog boxes require that I be there to hit the yes buttons. This is not practical since the auto response might need to happen anytime day or night (I am using a cable modem which is on all the time). I don't really want to have to buy a signature ID just for my own internal use program. What can I do?

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options with regard to the
"object model guard" security in Outlook 2000 SP2 and later versions. A commercial digital signature is not one of them. I'd recommend recoding your macros with Redemption or upgrading to Outlook 2003. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Malconium" wrote in message ...

Thanks for posting the page with the fix on it. Can you explain how to go to
the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlo ok\Addins\PDFMOutlook.PDFMOutlook and change the LoadBehavior value from 3 to 2? Does one need to edit the registry, and if so, how does one do this? It is not obvious. Thanks!!

Click OK. -- Brian Tillman |
