When using ACT! to send emails Outlook '02 prompts with the following message: "A program is trying to automatically send email on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No"." How can I turn this security setting off in Outlook '02?

I checked the knowledge base at www.act.com and could not find any reference to your problem there. In any case, I would look to the folks at ACT! to figure this out and not to shut down any security feature that your OS has put in place...after all, with some of the worms and viruses out there this is the last thing you want to disable. If you are a registered user of ACT! I suggest you contact them...they may not be aware of the problem yet as most businesses I am sure are not quick to jump on the XP bandwagon.
Good luck!

I believe this message is being triggered by a
setting in Microsoft Outlook, in that when the
MAPI connection is invoked, it responds. It is
possible that the answer is in Outlook and not
in ACT! which is just using the same
command thatclicking an email address in a
web page uses.

You can't disable the "object model guard" security prompts; they're hardwired into Outlook 2002. But I remember reading that there's an update for ACT! 2000 that avoids the prompts, so you might want to check their web site.
