Hello,

I've developed a ComAddin using Visual Basic 6.0.
Upon certain tasks done by the addin, eg accessing the body of an
email, Outlook prompts a security warning with the option of allow the
programm to access it for up to 10 minutes.
I really puzzled because Outlook tells me a programm wants to access
email addresses stored in outlook but I only access the objMsg.body
...

(Of course this warning prompts when im accessing the objMsg.sender
also...)

How can I make outlook doesn't prompt a warning when my addin runs even
when I'm installing it on other machines?

Thank you in advance,

Mat.
 
Hi
I think so:
1. Test Outlook parameters. Find what you must switch off.
2. Find it in the register.
3. Create installation that set it in the register into righ
condition.

Body can hold email addresses, that and HTMLBody are now restricted.

If you are using Exchange server you can make a trusted COM addin. All
Outlook objects must be derived from the Application object passed to you in
the On_Connection event, CDO code is never trusted BTW. Once you have that
done your admins would trust the COM addin and create a hash for it. All
that is detailed at http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/admin.htm

If you are not using Exchange the only options are to write your addin using
Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi only) or using the Redemption library
(www.dimastr.com/redemption).
