A program is trying to access your address Book

[whylite]

I have a company form that everyone in my industry uses to exchange info. I
have written a message box script telling everyone to answer yes when the
alerts message comes up telling the user that a program is trying to access
your address book. I would like to eliminate the need for the msgbox and
write a script that forces the issue so no alert is displayed at all.

Thanks Sue I am using 2002. From what I can gather from the website that it
isn't simple to do. I program in Excel all the time. I just thought one
could write a command to bypass the alert and force things through it's easy
in excel. If such a thing exists in outlook could you let me know. The
command I am using is a MAPI get name command to attach the users name to the
change they make in the form so changes can be tracked.

No, there is no such simple command. If you're using Exchange as your mail server, you can use the mailbox name (the Parent of the Inbox folder) to get the user's name. Alternatively, get it from the Windows environment variable %username%.
