I've coded an application that accesses the Outlook email address book. When
a selection is made, Outlook displays the "A program is trying to access
e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook" security dialog box with the
allow access options. This works as expected when the program is displayed on
screen 1 of a dual monitor setup. However, the security dialog box does not
appear when the application is displayed on monitor 2. The VBA application
hangs. You can see the Outlook security program in the task manager. You can
make it visible if you select it in the task manager and set it to maximize,
otherwise it is not accessible.

Is this a bug and is there a fix for it?
 
I don't know about the dual monitor issue, but if you code a macro correctly
in Outlook 2003 VBA, there should be no security prompts. Are you deriving
all objects from the instrinsic Application object? That's the key to
avoiding security prompts.
