Autosending Email with Windows NT 4

[cruford]

I have a database that is scheduled to open in my task manager. All it does is import some excel files, creates a report, emails the report, then closes the database. It runs great except I'm running NT 4 and it pops up a message stating something like this:

"This application is trying to send email. If you are not aware that this is supposed to happen it may be a virus, please click no. Otherwise click yes or cancel"

(something to that effect)

Is there a way to turn this warning off? Everything runs from an AutoExec macro which I have "SetWarnings" off and I still get this message every day when it runs. If I am not here, this will cause a problem, since no one can click the "yes" button. Thanks for the help.

This is an Outlook problem, not an Access prob. What version of Outlook are you running? I had the exact same problem in Outlook 2000, and could find no way to turn it off. Somehow I discovered that it's the last Outlook service pack that installed this. I fixed it by uninstalling Outlook, reinstalling it and not applying SP2. I am not happy with the fix, because it is a security risk, which I minimized by disconnecting the Internet on this server, but it is still a risk, so I would like to hear a better solution. You might try the Exchange/Outlook forum - let me know if you get a better solution.

Yes I'm using Outlook 2000 and Access 2000. That's a bummer I am going to search some Outlook sites and forums to see if there is a way around this, if I find it I will post it here. Thanks for your input.

See thread 'Access and email' of 3Feb03, where answer refers to software to solve your SP2 problem.
