Outlook Question

[pikk]

We are running a mix of Outlook XP and Outlook 2000. On some of our systems, we have a custom application that runs (written in VB) to warn other people of meetings and schedules etc. It uses MAPI to sen these messages in Outlook. The problem is, when this program runs, Outlook pops up it's usual message that some "other" application is trying to access Outlook and waits for a confirmation. My question is...can this be turned off somehwere? Also running Exchanger Server 5.5.

TIA

I'm not sure if you can turn this option off but as a workaround you could try a button pushing utility such as 'Push the Freakin' Button'. This is freeware and it works for me. Take a look:

There is one way around it. Digitally sign your application and the under in Outlook that you are using the application when you first run the app after it has been signed, click on alway trust this author (or something like that). I have only done this once so I can not give you step by step instructions.

Here is a link
