get reed of security prompts

[Kan Kan]

Hi Gurus,

I want to get reed of the stupid ms outlook security prompts that come up
when trying to access mail and address book of Microsoft Outlook 2003
I am not satisfied with the solutions that i have found so far.
1. use the outlook redumption api
2. use click yes software
3. use API functions to click on the YES buttons

other than for that i got a security template from MS but this too has a
reference for Exchange Server.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/assistance/HA011402931033.aspx

I preffer this option but it does not work due to the Exchange Server
reference i guess. Can someone please shed some light on this.

Many thanks in advance.

Your only options are to go back to an earlier version that didn't have the
security prompt (OL2000 I think), or, I believe OL2007 has an option to
switch off security prompts. You may not be satisfied with this either of
course <g>

Outlook 2007 will not prompt for trusted add-ins.

I don't think ANYBODY likes that dumb "security" dialog. I wish I could grab
the "I Love You" author and smack him around a bit. He started that whole
knee-jerk reaction.

John,

I got to use 2003 to overcome another issue and cannot go backwards.
2007 seems to be a good option but I have to resolve the current problem
before i research on it and make sure it does not create any new side
affects.

Thanks for your opinioun.

Outlook *2003* won't prompt for trusted add-ins. Outlook 2007 can go farther, if the system is running up-to-date anti-virus software, and can be configured to not prompt even for external applications.

Don't we have a sort of a security template that can be configured for this?
There is one for outlook 2003 clients using exchange server. i just want one
without exchange server.

I apologize for the misinformation, Sue. You are absolutely correct. It was
very early and I was not fully awake. Irresponsible posting on my part...
especially since my add-in *depends* on this behavior, I should have known
better.

Yeah... what Sue said.

That's not possible. For Outlook 2000-2003, "object model guard" security can be centrally managed like that only in Exchange environments.

The best solution, of course, is to write code so that the security prompts are never invoked at all.
