Adobe Acrobat conflict with Outlook after installation of Office XP SP3

[Ted Elfer]

I recently installed Adobe Acrobat 6.0 and MS Office SP 3 - on the
same day. Since then, every time I want to send an e-mail I get a
pop-up screen advising me that "another program is trying to access
the addresses stored in Outlook"

I could not find anything in Outlook to adjust or identify the cause
of the problem.

I used WinXP "restore" to remove SP 3 and the error messages stopped.
but they started again when I reinstalled it.

The same thing happened when I uninstalled and re-installed Adobe
Acrobat.

Did any of you guys come across anything like this?

Known issue and try disabling Word as your e-mail editor. (The Adobe addin
is trying to read the body of the message. SP3 added additional security
blocks to stop viruses/worms from trying to gather more e-mail addys.)

I have the same problem, and I want to use Word as my
default e-mail editor, and I want to use Adobe.

It would be nice to be able to set a default response in
the popup, so that I don't always have to click on
the "No" button.

There must be a user-friendlier way to do this.

I wish I had something better to report, but there isn't a way to configure
that dialog.

Do you really use the Adobe options shown on the Outlook toolbar? If not,
you can disable just the outlook integration - see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems
for instructions. Otherwise, you'll need to use ClickYes (not recommended
as it will say yes to warnings triggered by viruses too) or convert files
to pdf before sending by email.
