Outlook XP - SP3

[Eric L]

I installed Outlook XP and installed SP3. Now when
opening Outlook and clicking on New, it prompts saying
that something is attempting to open the Address Book,
click yes (specify how long, up to 10 minutes) or no. I
am fairly certain it is Adobe Acrobat accesing the
mailbox. But I have other apps that could be doing it as
well. I have enabled the trusting of Acrobat Always. Is
there a way to disable this "feature" or at least add a
trusted application list somewhere?

Short of disabling Acrobat, no. Outlook 2002 SP3 adds additional properties
to the list of those that are affected by the security features. As a
result, one of your add-ins needs updated to the latest version - antispam
add-ins are a common cause although others are affected by the changes as
well. Many add-ins were updated following the release of Outlook 2003 and
should work with SP3, if not you'll need to contact the vendor for a newer
version.

http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems has a list of
applications known to trigger the warning.

To learn how to program around the new properties (which is needed for the
macros to work with OL2003 too) see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm
