Hey folks,

I had posted a question in the Programming forum and it
was suggested I opost it here for a possible wider
audience from which to solicit advice.

I have an application which I'd like to detect the user's
email address from the Outlook profile installed on the pc
running the application.

As you can read, Geoff provided some code to help me in
that effort. However, I found that the code, when
attempting to access the Outlook profile popped up a box
to notify the user that the profile was being accessed and
had a Yes/No/Cancel button group on the message box. I'd
like to bypass or eliminate that popup from happening.

If anyone has any insight on how to bypass that, I would
appreciate any advice and/or recommendations.

v/r

I don't know is the straight answer.

This (well-intentioned but somewhat annoying) box
appears because of one of Outlook's security patches
to stop viruses from causing havoc.

It is possible to overcome one of Outlook's security
features (namely to allow the opening of so-called
dangerous attachments) by editing the registry
(see www.slipstick.com for details). Whether, by
extension, it's possible to suppress this confirmation
box, I don't know.

This is a security feature in Outlook and is there to inform the user that
code is attempting to access their profile. The reason for this is to
prevent propagation of potential virus. It cannot not be disabled. There
are tools that will click yes automatically, or allow you to send email
without using Outlook. Google for Express ClickYes or Redemption. In any
case, you cannot do what you want without buying 3rd party tools.
