Stop Security Madness

[Guest]

I am trying it get the following code in Access to call Outlook and send a
bunch of emails. Each one is different for each of the recipients and it can
be for one to 50 or even more. I would like to bypass the Outlook security,
preferably not using on of the 3rd party products like ClickYes.

I am using Outlook and Access 2003.

I have looked at other posts and at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm
but I just don't get it.

TIA

Vanya

What is it that you don't "get"? External automation of Outlook 2003 is subject to security prompts. The page you cited lists all the possible ways to avoid the security prompts. If you don't want to use something like ClickYes, you're not in an environment where the Exchange administrator will loosen security for you, and you want to stick to Access VBA, then rewriting the code using Redemption is the best available solution for you.
