I have been using Outlook 2002 on my laptop running xp for some time. I've
often copied my data file (Outlook.pst) from my laptop to a desktop also
running xp with no problem. I just bought a Dell laptop running Vista and
loaded the same Outlook 2002 software which works fine until I copy the data
file from my xp machine to the new machine. When I try to start outlook, I
get the "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in
Outlook" warning message, which seems to be stuck in a repeating loop that
won't let me click yes or no to proceed and I have to use task manager to end
the program. Can anyone help with this.

Thanks!

Jim

Locate your copied pst in your Documents Folder, start Outlook & within OL
FileOpenData File.....browse to this pst
PS You are aware 2002 is not fully compatible with Vista, ie passwords not
retained

Thanks for the try, but your solution didn't work. The problem persists.

I've ran into the same problem with a customer's laptop I picked up today.

"A program is trying to access your outlook addressbook".. there is NO way
to close the msg, it even comes up in safe mode. I've tried repairing
outlook, uninstalling and reinstalling it - and nothing works. I've also
tired the Security add-in by MAPI however that doesn't work either.

Anyhow have any suggestions??

Thanks,
Robert
