Home-brew PIM gives error "Program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook"

[Bob Jorgensen]

I am getting the message "Program is trying to access e-mail addresses you
have stored in Outlook" fvrom outlook whenever I try to sync contact
information between my PIM application and MS Outlook 2000. What would I
need to do to remove this message. Some other programs allow the user to
sync information without seeing this message, and I would like to prevent
the user from thinking something is invading their system.

Would I need to get a certificate from Microsoft? Would I need to use
another mechanism than the one listed below?

Any help would be appreciated.

Using VB.Net I am accessing the outlook information as follows:

Public Sub ReadInfo()
Dim app As New Outlook.Application
Dim ns As Outlook.NameSpace = app.GetNamespace("MAPI")
readFolders(ns.Folders.Item(1))
ns = Nothing
app = Nothing
end sub

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options with regard to the
"object model guard" security in Outlook 2000 SP2 and later versions.
Signing your code would not change anything.
