Access email issue w/2003

At my worksite, they are deploying MS Access 2003 on all desktop
workstations, replacing Access 2002. This is because they're moving to
Exchange 2007, which requires Office 2003 at a minimum. Fine.

We have some applications to do a Mail-merge with Word docs, then auto-send
an email with the Word doc as the attachment, to a recipient list maintained
as part of the DB application. (I am assuming all this is done in VBA behind
the form used to initiate the process).

Anyway, they now get that confirmation message:

"Program is trying to auto send email on your behalf - do you want to allow
this , if this is unexpected there may be a virus and you should choose no"

I remember reading about this issue awhile back, and that it was a tighter
security model employed by later versions of MS applications. Can someone
tell me what setting to change (and where) in order to make this message go
away? Additionally, I recall reading something about using SMTP for the email
process, which would bypass this problem. Can someone please provide a
detailed reference as to how to do that, and what software (if any) that
would need to be installed in order to do that?

I'd prefer to just adjust the security setting(s) however, if at all possible.

Thanks a million for any help!

No, 2002 doesn't have the issue. Perhaps in our image that had already been
disabled prior to workstation deployment?

Hmmm, I don't know about that. Honestly I have to say that I don't know if
you can disable that in the outlook settings i've been looking for it myself
and haven't found anything. So my advice would be to go with the redemption
option.
