"New" warning popup dialog in Outlook 2002

[Randy]

Whenever I open an e-mail, task, contact or most anything
else in the program I get an official looking dialog
complete with official looking help screen which reads as
follows:A program is trying to access e-mail addresses
you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?
If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should
choose "No".

If I choose Yes, the computer locks up. If I choose no,
everything seems to be fine. But that annoying popup
dialog keeps showing up.

Is this a bona-fide feature of Outlook 2002 or do I have
some sort of a virus warning me of possible virus
activity? I have used Norton AV with update virus
definitions and nothing shows up in the scan.

There is an article on MS site which relates to this error.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290498&Product=ol2002.

This might be of some help

This is part of the security features of OL2002, you will
find this box gets REALLY anoying, but I suppose it's
there for you own good

Some people use a program called clik yes program, which
does what it says on the tin..

It clicks the yes button for you!

Hope this helps!

Is there a solution to this? It is indeed very annoying
to have to click that additonal button everytime!

I solved my own problem. I ran "detect and repair" from
the help menu using the more radical option - to discard
my custom settings.

The popup warning is gone.
