error: a program is trying to access email addresses you have stored in outlook

[Jennifer]

We a call accounting program that emails daily statistics
to other individuals in the office -- however, when the
scheduler tries to email, outlook pops up with this "a
program is trying to access email addresses you have
stored in outlook. do you want to allow this? if this is
unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose no"

In doing some research on the web, I've found a few sites
that say that this is due to a security issue and you have
to change the permissions on the 'public folder' -- we
only have a 'personal folder'. does anyone know how to
solve this error?

Thanks!

The security dialogs that pop up when an application tries to access certain Outlook properties and methods are designed to inhibit the spread of viruses via Outlook; see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec. If you are a standalone user, Outlook provides no way to suppress this behavior. However, you can use a free tool called Express ClickYes (http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html) to click the security dialog buttons automatically. Beware that this means if a virus tries to send mail using Outlook or gain access to your address book, it will succeed.

If it's an application you wrote yourself, you can use one of these approaches to redo the program:

-- Use Extended MAPI (see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/mapi.htm) and C++ or Delphi; this is the most secure method and the only one that Microsoft recommendeds.

-- Use Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/), a third-party COM library that wraps around Extended MAPI but parallels the Outlook Object Model

-- Use SendKeys to "click" the buttons on the security dialogs that your application may trigger. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec for a link to sample code.

-- Program the free Express ClickYes (http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html) tool to start suspended and turn it on only when your program needs to have the buttons clicked automatically.
