I have a client that uses an off-the-shelf accounting program (MYOB).
It can email out reports (statements, invoices etc) - but when doing so,
Outlook prompts to allow, and one has to wait 15 seconds before the
'OK' button becomes un-greyed.

Is there a way around this? Or should I complain to the MYOB folk and
ask them to write a COM dll that would allow them access?

Apologies, doing it myself now! :) Outlook 2007, XP Pro SP3 fully up-to-
date (brand new PC and Office 2007 Biz install).

It's actually because MYOB isn't written with Outlook's Object Model Guard in
mind, buy you can address it with http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/security/
 
That's brilliant - thanks heaps Brian.

Damn, it doesn't work - not at all. I'm going to make a new post.
Thanks for your suggestion though Brian, it is appreciated.

Sorry for that. I've not heard of any problems with that tool not finding
who's doing the sending. You could also use the free Express ClickYes
(http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/) but it's not as secure because
it has no granularity. It simply responds to the prompt for you no matter
what program causes it. ClickYes Pro is supposed to allow controlling which
programs it will allow.
