Accessing MS Outlook 2000 field triggers warning popup. How to avoid?

[Deffexor]

Hi Guys,
I'm new to this forum and I'm also new to VBScript. I've spent the past week learning it and I'm very frustrated with it. Well I think I'm more frustrated with the poor IDE built into the MS Outlook Forms editor/designer.

Anyway, I'm trying to access the field [Owner] or Application.GetNameSpace("MAPI&quot.CurrentUser.Name. Whenever I try to copy this data to another user field. A warning box pops up and says something to the effect of "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses. This could be a virus." And frankly while it's nice that this protection method is in place to protect me from virii, I know my users will find it very annoying. Is there any way to automatically get the name of the current user without triggering this pop-up?

Also, is there any method to trigger the automatic sending or "Saving and closing" of this Task?

Thanks.

There is NO getting around it.
Unless you use an older version of Outlook
It's built into Outlook XP also and its in the Micosoft Office 2000 Service Service Pak 2. DougP, MCP
