program trying to access e-mail addresses stored in outlook?

[Dan Hicks]

Hi,

I use outlook at my office. Everytime I open outlook (choosing
'Connect' when I'm logged into the domain at work) and click 'new' to
write an email, an outlook alert box pops up with:

A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in
Outlook. Do you want to allow this?

If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No".

I always click 'yes', and I'm able to go on. But what in tarnation is
causing this alert box to pop up?

Here's other stuff that may be of use. I'm using Outlook 2002 SP 3 on
Windows XP. All my stuff is stored in exchange. I sync my outlook
folders so I can have offline access to my calendar. I also use
activesync to sync my pocket PC with outlook both while connected and
offline. I recently wrote a VB program designed to sync sql server
records with outlook address books in which I got the same message
when I ran it. Not sure whether any of this is relevant.

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems for a list of
programs you might be using that may need upgrades to avoid the prompts.

For the program you wrote yourself, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm
for your options with regard to this "object model guard" security. Recoding
with Redemption is probably the easiest solution.

Thanks Sue, it must be my activesync software, although it's not
listed. I'm able to send messages through my pocket pc, so perhaps
that is what's causing it.

You said I could reprogram with redemption. Is this something I have
to pay for? Also, when you say "reprogram", do you mean add the
redemption code or scrap everything I've wrote and start from scratch?
Should I go out and buy your book?

Thanks

If you look at the Redemption site, you'll see that you can download it free
for personal use and that the code is quite parallel to Outlook object model
code, so only slight changes are needed.
