I read the specs on the update and one concern that I have
is the inability to send automated emails. When ever I
specify the recipients through the VB object model I now
need to acknowledge recipients.

I am a certification analyst at a software company and the
Automated tests that I create actually runs overnight
about 3 to 4 times and send statistical data reports to
other people with the company.

This is impossible to accomplish because I am not here to
acknowledge the prompts. Are there any workarounds other
than loading outlook 98 instead of outlook 2003?

Thanks,
Mark
 
In Outlook 2003, unless an Exchange admin has disabled trusted code, you are
not subject to the security prompts if your code runs in Outlook VBA or in a
COM addin if the code is written to be trusted. To be trusted all Outlook
objects must be descended from the Application object intrinsic to Outlook
VBA or from the Application object passed in the On_Connection event.

Standalone code and code run from another application's VBA project is not
trusted. CDO 1.21 code is also never trusted.

Other than that you can rewrite your code using Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi
only) or Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption). Both methods also avoid
the security prompts.
