Office XP SP3

[Anthony]

Now that I have installed Office XP SP3 when I receive
emails I get a message in a Pop Up Box stating that a
email tried to access my Address Book. I have the options
to say Yes, and let this happen for 1, 5, or 10 minutes,
or to say No. Is there a way to say no to all emails that
want to access my Address Book?

Thank you,
Anthony

G'day Anthony,

Microsoft Office SP3 seems to 'break' a number
of Outlook Xp Addins and Word/Excel Macros
on my PC.

SP3 'breaks' any Excel/Word Macros that obtain data
from Outlook to create (say) a Contact Phone List
that includes their email address OR to create (say)
a list of unread mail.

Any attempt to access Contact email addresses
OR
ANY Mail Data Now generates a Dialog box:

"MS Outlook"

"A Program is trying to access......"
"If this is unexpected it may be a virus...."
etc.

You have to give (Outlook) permission for the Macro
to access Outlook for 1 to 10 minutes.

These macros can no longer run 'unattended'.

SP3 also 'breaks' Outlook AddIns like 'IncrediMail'
and some anti-spam AddIns like Sunbelt Software's
iHateSpam and Cloudmark's Spamnet.

So far MY issue is with Microsoft Support and the advice?
Roll back to SP2.

If you're on Windows XP, you can try to roll back. Otherwise, you'd have to
remove and reinstall Office.

IncrediMail has released a solution for the SP3 problem in their
add-on.
The new build 1431 can be downloaded here:
