access outlook from other programs

[Leo]

I have a program that sends e-mail through outlook.
This works fine, but every time the program sends I have to except the
connection throug outlook and select how many minutes the program can use
outlook.

Is there any way this security setting can be removed ?

From Our good friends at www.slipstick.com we find the following:

The "object model guard" feature of the patch imposes two
extreme restrictions on automating Outlook from add-ins
that use CDO:

a.. If an add-in tries to send an Outlook message, the user gets
a notification pop-up and must explicitly authorize or deny
each attempt to send. The user must wait 5 seconds before
the Yes button becomes available to click.

b.. If an add-in tries to access either a Contacts folder or the
address book or save an Outlook item as a file, the user
gets a notification pop-up and can deny access, authorize
a one-time access or extend access for a period of
several minutes.

I would look into "Advanced Security for Outlook" by MAPI Lab:

Rewrite your program so that it accesses Outlook correctly. Here are your
options with respect to the Outlook Object Model Guard:
