Q on mail merge with Outlook ("Do you want to allow this?")

[Joel]

I am having trouble with the mail merge feature in Microsoft Office XP
on a Dell thats a year old. I am using Microsoft Windows XP Home. (It
worked fine with Word97, but I recently upgraded to Office XP.)

When trying to send emails merging a Word document with an Access
database, an Outlook message pops up that says,

“A program is trying to access email 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’.”

Even after selecting yes, the same message pops up before sending each
email to the Outlook Outbox. It’s as if Word and Outlook are not
cooperating. Is there a way to disable this Outlook feature or at least
stop the message from popping up?

I am also using McAfee Security Center. If it is a McAfee feature, is
there a way to disable it?

Thanks.

Joel

I installed Express ClickYes. Thanks for the suggestion!

However...

<>At first it worked perfectly- Outlook sent out emails without
prompting each time.

But then Outlook stopped sending in the middle of a batch of emails.
There are now seven emails in the Outbox that Outlook will not send.

<>Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thx.

Can you open the messages to ascertain what the problem is?
