I am trying to send a PDF or Word document through Outlook to several recipients. From withing Microsoft Outlook, I follow the steps to do the mail merge, where I get the e-mail addresses of the recipients from a query stored in an Access database. When I try to send the e-mail, the following warning pops up for EACH of the 900 recipients:
"A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No"." After clicking "Yes" to it, another warning pops up, stating:
"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No". After clicking on "Yes", the e-mail is sent.

Is there an easy way to turn these warnings off? I realize that some companies are selling applications that give you control over the display of these warnings, but I was wondering if anybody would have the "secret" code that turns these messages on and off.

I would appreciate any help you could give me on that.

Thank you,

TM
