Default Program is trying to access e-mail addresses

When merging to email, some of our users (Office XP SP-3)
receive a prompt that they must click "Yes" to, for every
message sent (300+). The message is "A program is trying
to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do
you want to allow this?"

The mystery is that my updated Office XP SP-3 doesn't
have the problem and I am supposedly configured like they
are. Does "Confirm conversion on open" in Word's Tools,
Options, General tab fix this problem? (This is checked
on my computer, but not theirs.)

Some users have successfully solved the problem by
installing the Express Click Yes free-ware, but I would
rather not install this on everyone's computer.

Thanks ahead of time.

It would not be anything to do with the Confirm conversions at Open setting.

Almost certainly it is some setting in Outlook that is causing the prompt.
If you can't work out what setting it is, I would suggest that you post to
one of the Outlook newsgroups on msnews.microsoft.com.

Hope this helps
