Sending Outlook003-mails via activeX

[uli]

Hi all!
(I already posted this to microsoft.public.office.access.activexconrol,
since I was not sure where to post it)

With Outlook2002 I could send emails via an ActiveX-command from outside
outlook (without starting outlook, i.e. Matlab) automatically. With the new
Outlook2003 there exist new security policies where a small warning-window
pops up, which have to affirmed.
But actually I want that another pogram sends me a mail automatically when
something happens, and when I'm not sitting in front of this computer -
otherwise it would be useless. Has anyone an idea how to turn off this
security-message?

I already searched the net for this, an could only found the following - but
it didn't help:
(http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011403201033.aspx)
When Outlook receives a message containing a form definition, the item is
considered to be a one-off form. To help prevent unwanted script and
controls from running in one-off forms, Outlook will not load ActiveX
controls in one-off forms by default.

This behavior can be controlled by administrators using one of the following
registry settings.

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security

AllowActiveXOneOffForms (DWORD)

not present - Only load controls that are listed below. (default)
0 - Only load controls that are listed below.
1 - Allow only safe controls.
2 - Allow all ActiveX controls.

The following controls can be used in one-off forms:

a.. Controls from fm20.dll
b.. Microsoft Office Outlook Rich Format Control
c.. Microsoft Office Outlook Recipient Control
d.. Microsoft Office Outlook View Control


Thanks a lot for any help!
regards, _uli

You cannot simply turn off the security prompts. The article you cited deals with an entirely different security issue, the use of ActiveX controls on Outlook forms.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options with regard to the "object model guard" security in Outlook 2000 SP2 and later versions.
