"A Program trying to acess" in Outlook when using vb.net

[Chris Thunell]

I am using vb.net to access a public folder in Outlook / Exchange Server.
Whenever my program tries to access this folder i get a dialogue box saying
"A Program is trying to access Outlook. Do you want to allow access" with
Yes/No buttons and if Yes, then to allow access| for specified period in
minutes. This is precluding me from truling automating this process because
i have to be here to click the appropriate buttons. Any way to disable this
warning dialogue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sample code:
ol = New outlook.Application
olns = ol.getnamespace("MAPI")
olFolder = ol.activeexplorer.currentfolder
CurFolder = olFolder.name
AllItems = olFolder.items
NumItems = AllItems.count


For Each Itm In AllItems
'do some stuff here
Next

Try this:
Registry: HKCU/Software/Policies/Microsoft/Security
DWORD: CheckAdminSettings
Value: 1

or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PDFMOutlook.PDFMOutlook\
Change LoadBehavior from 3 to 0.

Neither of those options seem to work. Any other thoughts?

Try this:

Registry: HKCU/Software/Policies/Microsoft/Security
DWORD: CheckAdminSettings
Value: 1

or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PDFMOutlook.PDFMOutlook\
Change LoadBehavior from 3 to 0.

Neither of those registry values will have any effect on the "object model guard" in your program. Setting the LoadBehavior value to 0 for PDFMOutlook just disables that add-in. It doesn't affect your application. Setting CheckAdminSettings to 1 makes Outlook look, in an Exchange environment, for a public folder that holds settings, including information on COM add-ins trusted with regard to the "object model guard," but even that will have no effect if no settings items exist.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options. If you're building an external program, Redemption is probably your best solution.
