getting around prompt on email merge

[John]

According to a MS KB article, the warning message for each
e-mail message that you send on an email merge is by
design, but you can give it access for up to 10 minutes.
Well, we are not able to get this to occur. Is there a way,
at all, to defeat this?

Thanks,
John

Use HTML format to avoid the prompt.

Outlook and Word versions?

 

[Guest]

Outlook and Word are both 2000 version.

Both are patched with most recent updates.

 

[John]

I haven't looked into that. The only issue might be for
those users who refuse to accept HTML formatted mail.
We'll give the HTML format a shot. I'm assuming you mean to
start the email merge process from Outlook vice Word?

Never mind. It won't work if you're using Office 2000. The option only
became available with Office XP.

The only solution, unless you're the Exchange administrator, is a
third-party tool -- see http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.htm#massmail

Thanks for the update. FWIW, I got the same thing when
using Office 2003.

Based on a link provided by Sue, THE solution to bypassing
the prompt is the Express ClickYes 1.0.7 at
http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html.

Thanks to Sue and Russ for their responses, and to those
with the same problem, please offer your thank$ to
express-soft.

Are you sure? You shouldn't if your message is in HTML format and you are
also using Word 2003.

The user who needs to send the emails out is running Office
2000; I don't want to be tasked with that. Useing the
auto=-click program has worked great.
