I just read my post and I didn't like it much. What I meant was I think I know the answer (You don't turn off this feature), but I'm anxious to hear what others know about this. The security patch to Outlook 2000 caused a real problem for these kinds of applications and you can't uninstall it or change any option to cause it to stop doing that. The only fix is to uninstall Office and re-install it.
I sure hope someone knows a better way to fix this problem. Dwayne Streeter, CPA, CITP
