"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses" message...

[Ian Francis]

I have Office 2002 Pro running on Windows XP. I have recently updated my
Office package with all available updates and have noticed a new, annoying
feature. Everytime I compose an e-mail I get the dialog box that states "A
program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do
you want to allow this?".

Is this a normal part of the security update, and if so, is there any way I
can disable it?

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, I don't find anything in the
suggested list that I am using on my machine. The only thing that comes to
mind is that I am using Word to compose my e-mails. Assuming Word is the
"program trying to access e-mail addresses" would you know what I need to do
to stop the dialog box from coming up?

Thanks again,

Ian

Word will not cause that warning. Did you read the information about the Acrobat add-in? That seems to be the most commonly involved add-in.

The link that Sue provided had another link to it for a program called
Advanced Outlook Security that will allow you to always allow/deny access to
specific programs that are trying to access Outlook.
