Default 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.

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.

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?

Thanks,

Malcolm

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.

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!!

Yes, one needs to edit the Registry. Click StartRun and enter "regedit" in
the Open field. Click OK.
