Trusted Application?

Hello all,

I am coding an application in Visual Basic 6 that
will interact with certain items in Outlook 2003,
including contacts. I am aware that some of these
interactions will trigger a security dialog when
attempting to access. Is there a way for Outlook 2003
to "trust" an application (like a COM Add-In) on the
client side so that it does not produce security prompts?
It's also important to note that we are running in an
Exchange Server 2003 environment. Any help or suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Outlook 2003 trusts all properly constructed Outlook COM add-ins by default
*unless* you have also implemented the Outlook Security Settings folder on
the Exchange server by setting the client registry entry appropriately. If
that's the case, then the administrator will need to trust the COM add-in as
part of the settings on a security setting item. See
