Outlook Security features make life hard!

[Paul Patti]

Hi,

I am a reasonably skilled user of Outlook 2003 on XP Pro and use my
Mailmerge options to create Email and Word marketing messages to my
clients, say 50 at a time.

Since May 2005 an unknown Office Update has made the process a real
nightmare.

When sending out Mailmerge Emails, I now see a Security alert for each
Message, telling me that a process is accessing my Address List; might
me a virus and asks me to confirm access - FOR EACH SINGLE EMAIL.

Now I realise I might me able to disable this Security Feature in
Outlook, so does anyone have an idea how this might be done.

You can't disable it. Since you're using Word Mailmerge, it's probably a
Word add-in causing the issue and the most frequent one is Adobe Acrobat's
PDFMaker add-in. Adobe says V7 of Acrobat is compatible with Outlook 2003.
