The warning message has been a fact of life for developers working with Outlook for more than 7 years. It's shocking that a CRM vendor would suggest using a hack to work around it. They should instead be writing code that avoids it. Your options, as a client, however, are limited to suppressing the security prompts and using an Exchange folder to relax Outlook security.

Hi there,

At a site I manage the customer uses a CRM / asset-management package sold by
a (smallish) UK vendor. When this was originally supplied a requirement was
Outlook as email client.

Recently at least one machine has started displaying the "A program is trying
to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook" warning message, which
is annoying and confusing to users.

This message is documented in KB263073
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/263073

is there any way to disable this message, please?
It occurred to me there might be a AnnoyUsers=0 or similar registry setting?
Alternatively, can I just uninstall this particular Outlook update? Does it
provide any other protections or benefits?

The supplier of the CRM suggests installing a 3rd-party shareware which
"clicks" the yes button for you, however I feel this is a bit of a hack and
it bothers me.

Does anyone have any other solutions, please?

TIA,

Stroller.
