Error: A program is trying to access email addresses you have stored in outlook.

Getting the above error when attempting to sync with palm
vx. 'Use to work' okay. Recently restored laptop (Dell)
from Dell cd, windows 2000 pro, outlook 2000. Reinstalled
Palm hot sync software, but now getting the above message.
Choosing YES, handheld sync's okay. Complete message is:
__________________________________________
A program is trying to access e-mail address you have

If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should
choose "no".

You probably installed Outlook 2000 SP2. This is part of the Outlook
security update. Contact Palm for updated sync software.

Not a virus, but a result of a security update in Outlook that tries to
prevent viruses from sneaking around behind your back to send from your
computer.
Go to www.palm.com and download the latest version of Hotsync/Palm Desktop.
You won't lose your third party conduit to Outlook.
