New Outlook Alert Message

B

Bob Showalter

This weekend I installed Office XP sp3 to all systems on
our network. Two of the systems have developed a strange
symptom. When starting to compose (and perhaps read) a
new email, Outlook gives the following alert:

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

If I disable the option to use Microsoft Word as the email
editor, the alert goes away. If I reenable it, the alert
comes back. The problem is, this is happening on 2 or 3
systems out of 25 or so which are all setup the same way.
It is obviously a new feature of one of the service packs
1 thru 3, but how do I find out exactly what is causing
the alert so that the users aren't constantly annoyed by
it.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I'm having the same problem as Mr. Showalter. Do you
think you could be a little more direct? The instructions
on this page do not directly address this issue.

Thanks!

The problems section discusses 3rd party applications that need to be
updated because Microsoft added two properties to the object model guard.
Now things like IHateSpam, Adobe Acrobat (full version), .etc can trigger
that dialog. In this case, the user mentions Word. He didn't mention Adobe
Acrobat (full version), but I can only guess that he has a 3rd party Word
addin that is triggering Outlook security guard when
composing/replying/forwarding a message.

So how you resolve this probem?

I have adobe acrobat (full version) and MS Word. I want
to use MS Word as my editor, but I receive dialog box
each time I go to create a new email message

It started happening after I install SP3

From the page I directed you to...

To prevent the PDFMaker COM Addin from loading, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\PDFMOutlook.PDFM
Outlook and change the LoadBehavior value from 3 to 2. Restart Outlook. The
PDF functions will still be available in Word and the other Office programs.

Thanks to all for the replies, expecially Neo. The
problem was the Adobe plug-in and the registry patch fixed
it.
