A program is trying to access e-mail addresses... which one?!?!?!

[David Lozzi]

Hello,

I am getting the following in Outlook 2002 SP3:

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".

How do I determine which program is trying to access my addresses? This appears everytime I make a new message and most of the time reading existing ones. I read article 290498 and this is in an Exchange Server environment, but I am not going to assume a confirmation everytime at the server level. That is nuts. I need to determine what is causing this and attack that application. So how?

Thanks!

You don't, but I would fathom a guess that you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat installed. If my guess is right, you need to disable the PDFMaker addin. (middle of this section http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems)

Is Outlook configured to use Word as its e-mail compose editor?

Word is the editor.

Ah, I do have adobe professional installed. Just upgraded it to 6.0 from 5.0. But what if I want to use these features in Outlook? Or does it only rid itself of the toolbar option, the print to PDF will still be available right?

Does that "other program attempting to access" go away if you configure
Outlook to use its own e-mail compose editor?
