Palm syncing with outlook issue. "permission required" popup ever.

[Guest]

Everytime I sync my palm to outlook (I have chapura pocket mirror), this
windowed message appears:

"A program is trying to access email addresses in outlook, do you want to
allow this? "

And then I must choose how long to allow it, a minute, 2 minutes, 10...

I know this is to help guard against hackers from stealing my contacts but
it is annoying. How do I set it to "allow" default, or how to I remove it?

Thanks!

See if palm has updated their software - it's been 4 years since MS added
that prompt, plenty of time for palm to update their software. Otherwise,
you'll either need to live with it or use a utility called ClickYes.

Thanks Diane,

I'll checkout ClickYes. I will also try to find an updated version of
Chapura. However, this only occurs about 70% of the times... I wonder if its
just random or bugged?

Thanks!

if you can identify which items are triggering it, we might be able to
figure it out. Newer builds of outlook added additional properties that
trigger it and the items might contain those properties.

Hello. The solution to this Outlook popup security message is to download "Advanced Security", unzip the file, run the .exe file to load this 3rd party freeware, restart your computer. When you next synch your palm with Outlook you should not have the message appear. If any message does appear, Advanced security will open a dialog box. Choose allow, check the "Always perform this for this file" box, and click "ok". You should have no other probs. Various other Outlook addins can also be chosen to be allowed or blocked.

Link to Advanced Security software is here:

Pass this on to any other forums - seems many people need this!
