I am trying to do a mailmerge using Word 2000 and Outlook 2000 SP3. Unfortunately, when I get to the send part, Outlook thinks the file is a virus and prompts me to OK each send. When I'm sending the message to several hundred people, this is a real problem! Does anyone know of a way around this?

You don't have too many options in Outlook/Word 2000. You might want to
check out a free utility called Express ClickYes, which will babysit the
security prompt so you don't have to. Look here for more info on the
security prompt and a link to the ClickYes program:
