Third Party Program

[Erik]

I have a third party program that uses outlook to send an
email when it is done processing. When it tries to
access Outlook I get a message that says "a third party
is trying to access your contacts do you want to allow
access" I can choose from 1 to 10 Minutes. The problem is
that this program needs to run after hours when noone is
here. Is there a way to either bypass this message, or
work around it.

I am using Outlook XP. Thanks in advance

The thrid-party program has to be modified to reference Outlook in the
correct manner. There are MSKB articles that explain the methods. Contact
your app's vendor.

well, depending on which SP's are installed....

General information about the warning: For information on the security
features, see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm

if it began after installing SP3... 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
