Outlook Security

[SubChief]

At work we were using an MS Access db to generate and mail various reports to groups in my contacts. We recently upgraded to Office 2k and now I get a security warning from Outlook everytime we attempt to run the report. I turned the security settings to minimal and saw no change. Nothing else was changed.

You can't disable the outlook address book warnings as far as I know, and really you don't want to from a security standpoint.

I only need to disable the warning for this one application. I don't need to have Mr Gates telling me that another app is trying to send mail.

If it could be disabled for one app it could be disabled for any apps, so it would be trivial for the next iloveyou to disable the warning before it starts sending itself out.

Gotcha, thanks for the insight. I guess I'll live the inconvenience.

We've been telling our "Access DBAs" the same thing for some time and they just won't go for it. It's so annoying when people complain about all the security problems in Windows but then when some security is implemented they complain that it inconveniences them, you can't have it both ways.
