I am trying to use a macro in MS Access to send email and I keep getting the following prompt from Outlook (w/ SP3 installed):

"A program is trying to automatically send email on my behalf"

It then asks me if I would like to allow this. I can click yes and it will allow it to pass, but I was wondering if there is a setting that I can change so Outlook will not prompt me anymore. I have a big distribution list so sitting there and clicking yes for 5 minutes is kind of redundant and time consuming, espically when I have to do it a few times a day. I have searched the MS Knowledge Base but couldn't find too much. If anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
 
I don't think that there's any way to disable this, it's a security measure to prevent a virus from sending out tons of infected mail without your knowledge.

Here's a little program I found that may be of some use to you. It's called 'Push the Freakin Button'
Keep in mind that using this utility the way you want will almost essentially disable the security feature mentioned above.
