Cache Mode Issue

[PS]

I currently have my Outlook addin designed using VSTO 2005 SE and C#.
I dont have any GUI elements and hence have no dependacy on Ribbon and
Commandbar.

So my app can run both on Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. It runs fine
on both version of Outlook. But as soon as I make my Outlook (2003 or
2007) cache mode - i start getting the Oulook Security alerts (saying
some app is trying to run Outlook programatically). Is this a known
behavior because definitly this will not be acceptable to the users to
keep getting that alert.

I am looking into which exact part is generating this alert but wanted
to have an idea if this really should be happening.

Thanks

Look in Help | About Microsoft Outlook and tell us what it says under Security Mode.

Also, are you comparing the behavior under cached mode profile with a profile for the same Exchange mailbox that does not use cached mode?

The Security Mode says Administrator controlled

Regarding the sencond question - yes I have 2 profiles - one which
runs in cached mode and 1 which doesnt. When running in cached mode -
i see this issue.

Thanks

The security setting means that the add-in will run without prompts only if the administrator has a created a record in the Outlook Security Settings public folder to allow that. The fact that you get no prompts when running in full online mode suggests that such a record exists, but that it's not available for some reason when running in cached mode. I've seen reports of this before, but don't think I've ever seen a resolution. You might want to make sure that Outlook is set to download custom forms as part of the sync process in cached mode. Another thing to try is adding the Outlook Security Settings to Public Folders\Favorites and setting PF Favs to sync to the local cache.
