HOW TO? Get rid of outlooks warning for automatically sending e mail.

[Nick34]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the message that pops up whenever something is sent automatically through outlook from another application? I do not want to have to push yes everytime I run my code.

I've tried disabling alerts, but that doesn't work.

Any advice????

HI Nick,

You are seeing part of the security update MS did for Office products. (THANKS SPAMMERS!)

Check out:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us...

I have not seen an effective work around to this security measure.

Are you using MS exchange as a backend? You can disable pretty easily if you are, if not it will become problematic.

 

[Nick34]

I'm not sure if I am using MS Exchange or not. How could I tell??

 

[vbajock]

Is it corporate email? If so, ask your net geek, he'll know. If it is not, then your not using Exchange.

hi Nick ,

I dont think the weblink i sent is working. the knowledgebase article at MS is 263245. It has info relating to what you are experiencing.

Nick,
M$ says you can't get rid of the message.

That being said, my guess is that if you look in the Win32 API, you can find the call, called "GetWindowHandle" or something like that(I'm a bit unsure of the name of the call, as the program I used it in is at work, and I'm at home.) Once you have fetched the handle of the window in question, you can send it any keystroke(s) or clicks you wish programatically, including telling this window to accept any remote email sends for the next 10 minutes, or whatever.

I have not done this with this particular window, but I've done it with other annoy-o-grams, and it worked fine.

Let me know if you'd like some sample code.

Well, this is the exact reason for which I downgraded to Outlook 2000.

The most annoying problem is that the darn dialog window keeps the 'Yes' button disabled for 5 seconds, which is a little eternity. My computer at work sends automatically reports to customers (some 150 to 250 reports) while I have my beer at home. This particular 'security feature' drove me crazy, as I had to use Outlook Express instead of Outlook and couldn't use Automation.

But now I've heard of Outlook Redemption (nice name) that is supposed to overcome this problem, but only for Automation (SendObject will NOT be fixed). Another nice gadget is PTFB (Push The Freakin' Button), which really pushes it. But waiting for 5 seconds to send one email is totally unacceptable.

Do a search with Google for the 2 programs, they may solve your problem. Or downgrade to Outlook 2000.

I came across this problem recently

thread705-684975 tells some of the story.



I was advised in that thread to have a look at another 'Outlook specific' board

http://www.outlookcode.com/threads.aspx?forumid=2&messageid=2074

where I again followed links to a free code download site.

http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec

( Scroll down to the section on Automation security and read up on REDEMPTION )

The code can be activated by Access just before sending the email, it then runs and waits for the dialog box to pop-up and then clicks the 'Okay' automatically for you.

( Think long and hard about the security implications of what you are about to do - and remember to de-activate the COM after you have finished with it. )

You can't get rid of it? You can if you are using Exchange.

You could install the CDO library and send your mail direct without touching Outlook at all. All you need then is access to an SMTP server and you are away.

I think it's a download available from microsoft, just google it.

I am using MS Exchange. What would be the work-around in that case?

Hi!

I would also recommend redemption since it is temporary. The only other way is to reset the security on the computer in question (something your IT dept should be able to do, but most likely will not). Here is another site to look at.
