When my corporate Outlook comes up, it displays a security warning.

"ThisOutlookSession" contains macros.
Macros may contain viruses. It is usually safe to disable macros, but if the
macros are legitimate, you might lose some functionality.

In this case, the macros are ones that I've added to the system and want to
use. How do I turn off the security warning?

Richard,
It's kind of a pain in the neck. You have to certify your own macros.
This can be done with the SELFCERT.EXE utility inside of C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11. Just run the executable and create a
certificate. Then go to the VB editor to edit your macro. From here
go to tools->digital signature and select the certificate you created.
The next time you launch the macro, it will give you your last warning
saying "you're running a macro created by <blah>" and there will be a
check box to always remember that answer. Just check that and press
yes and you should be all set.

I see what you mean about being a bit of a bother. I shall try to follow
your helpful instructions and see what happens. Thanks.
