Is there a way to turn off the Outlook warning message
that comes up when I'm using the SendObjects method to
send an email? I've tried the DoCmd.SetWarnings = False
but this doesn't work.

Thanks.
 
Questions regarding the Outlook Security prompt are asked very frequently.
The most complete answer has been provided by Outlook MVP Sue Mosher and is
as follows:

BEGIN QUOTED MATERIAL:

"The security dialogs that pop up when an application tries to access
certain Outlook properties and methods are designed to inhibit the spread of
viruses via Outlook; see
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec.

If you are a standalone user, Outlook provides no way to suppress this
behavior. However, you can use a free tool called Express ClickYes
(http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html) to click the security
dialog buttons automatically. Beware that this means if a virus tries to
send mail using Outlook or gain access to your address book, it will
succeed. [NOTE from Cheryl: This utility is easy to use and free. The
website provides code to use to turn the utility on and turn it off when
done. I use it.]

"If you're the administrator in an Exchange Server environment, you can
reduce the impact of the security prompts with administrative tools. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/admin.htm

"If it's an application you wrote yourself, you can use one of these
approaches to redo the program:

-- Use Extended MAPI (see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/mapi.htm) and C++
or Delphi; this is the most secure method and the only one that Microsoft
recommendeds.

-- Use Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/), a third-party
COM library that wraps around Extended MAPI but parallels the Outlook Object
Model

-- Use SendKeys to "click" the buttons on the security dialogs that your
application may trigger. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec for a link to sample
code.

-- Program the free Express ClickYes
(http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html) tool to start suspended
and turn it on only when your program needs to have the buttons clicked
automatically."

END OF QUOTED MATERIAL

For Outlook 2003, Sue also advises:

"Outlook 2003 does not show security prompts on three specific types of
applications:

-- VBScript code in published, non-oneoff Outlook forms

-- Outlook VBA code that uses the intrinsic Application object

-- Outlook COM add-ins properly constructed to derive all objects from
the Application object passed by the OnConnection event"
