Hi there,

Is there someone who can help me in finding a way to enable the use of Outlook by an other application? A program we currently use needs access to Outlook to generate email notifications. But everytime an email is generates the is a pop-up window with the following message:

A PROGRAM IS TRYING TO ACCESS E-MAIL ADDRESSES YOU HAVE STORED IN OUTLOOK. DO YOU WANT TO ALLOW THIS?

I know this is a security feature to stop other applications using Outlooks functionality without the user's knowledge.

Is there a way to disable this pop-up windows with every e-mail notification?

Thanks,

Because Outlook is ridiculously easy to use in regards to virii, trojans, etc., M$ finally added this option. Turning this off is a VERY bad idea in my opinion.

Is this a program you wrote? Don't use Outlook, use the MAPI API - Yes, I realize that's redundant ;-)
