E-mail merge vs. Outlook security update

I need to do a mass e-mail merge. The main document has
been created in Word 2000. When I attempt to execute the
merge, I get this message:

"A program is trying to a access e-mail addresses you have
stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this? . . ."

I have to click "Yes" to continue - for EVERY address I am
e-mailing to. This is not acceptable on the 500+ addresses
I need to email.

From researching Microsoft's online support site, I
understand this is caused by an Outlook security update -
which I obediently installed at some point in the past.
How do I make this security update "go away"?
 
Thanks for the straight answer, Sue!!!

You can't just make it go away. Either upgrade to Office
2002 SP-1, get the Exchange administrator to loosen
Outlook security for you, or use a third-party mail merge
tool (see

I'm having the same problem. I have full access to the Exchange Server. How
do I loosen up the Outlook security to keep mail merges from initiating the
security prompt?

The security form works in Exchagne 5.5. Group policy is relevant only as a way to propagate the required client registry value. You can do that just as well in a login script or with manual instructions.

Hmmm - All I get is "could not load an object because it is not
available ...."
 
All you get when you do what?

You'll have to refresh the common memory about what your issue is, since it's not included in your latest post.

:-) Sure ...,
security upgrade?


We use a MAPI enabled SQL server application (a software defect tracking
tool to be exact)

We need it to be able to deliver its email - the Office 2000 security
upgrade blocks it .......
 
Which tab? The trusted COM addin technique doesn't work for Outlook 2000.

OK - yes it is 2000

@#*&#@ - I guess I have to think of something else .....

Does any body have a way to do this ????
 
Recode to use Redemption or use the Exchange admin security form to suppress the prompts.
