We use Outlook with an Exchange server. Outlook 2000 with latest update and
Exchange 5.5SP4 plus updates.

We have a contact folder and started a mail merge from Outlook. It works
great and we're able to use, add, test, and confirm the fields and formats
that we like. We are using it to merge into an email message. Everything
works fine.

One item we'd like to get around when sending the merge to Outlook it
prompts twice at every contact - once asking if we want to allow access to
Outlook and to this prompt we can respond allow access for x minutes. This
prompt is ok because when merging when can say allow access for 5 mintues
for example. However, we still get a second prompt at each contact that a
program is sending a message and do we want to allow it - Yes/no - we have
to answer it for each contact. Is there any way to not have this?
 
The security dialogs that pop up when an application tries to access certain
Outlook properties and methods are designed to inhibit the spread of viruses
via Outlook; see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec. They
cannot be simply turned on or off with a user option or registry setting.

Standalone users can use a free tool called Express ClickYes
(http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html) to click the security
dialog buttons automatically. Beware that this means if a virus tries to
send mail using Outlook or gain access to your address book, it will
succeed.

If you're the administrator in an Exchange Server environment, you can
reduce the impact of the security prompts with administrative tools. See
