Security Warnings when using VBA in Access 97 to create an
send an email via Outlook 2003.

1 Admpack doesn't work, the instructions are somewhat
inadequet
2 I have no idea what a com addin is, how to create one or
what I what part of the job I would get it to do. I have
looked at Slipstick...comaddins etc and this all revolves
around VB.net and not VBA.
3 I am very limited in my programming abilities outside of
access(VBA) however my app in access is very complex
including maniuplation of .pdf viewer and acrobat 5
I am not afraid of learning but reinventing the wheel
seems a bit over the top to avoid a simple warning message

Can anyone explain where a comaddin would sit in the
following senario :

My VBA code creates an outlook object which in turn
creates a new mail item and adds recipient,subject,
message and attachements - the code then sends this.

Help is always appreciated.

If you are referring to http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/admin.htm,
this will work only if you are using Outlook in an Exchange Server
environment.

The Slipstick website is extremely large and perhaps a bit daunting at
first, but I assure you that it provides significant support for VBA, VB,
DotNet and probably a few more interfaces. You just have to browse.

You may also want to post your question(s) in one of the news groups devoted
to Outlook. There is also a newsgroup devoted to COM addins -
"microsoft.public.vb.com"
