Security warnings in Outlook 2002

[Mark Smith]

In my add-in (C++), I am using XMAPI to retrieve email addresses for
selected e-mail. This gets rid of the security prompts for Outlook 2000,
but they are still showing up in Outlook 2002. Why is this? Is there any
way around it?

I am already using a digital signature in the add-in to make sure it is a
trusted source, but this doesn't have any effect on these security prompts.

Signing your add-in has no effect on the security prompts. My guess is that
you are also trying to access the Body or HTMLBody property with Outlook
objects, which is subject to security prompts in Outlook 2002 SP3.

You are correct. It was the body and html body that were causing the
prompts. I was thrown off because the security prompt always said some
program was trying to access e-mail addresses, even though that wasn't what
was causing the problem!

Sue - I need to scan the body - is there a way avoid the security prompts or
take care of them in my code quietly?

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.
