Since I installed the new service pack for microsoft Office
I get a message if i want to give my macro permission to
excecute. This is very annoying...
I went to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnout2k/html/oldigitalsignature.asp
to
search how i can prevent this message from appearing.

The site says the easiest way to do this is to set the
securety level to LOW. If i do this, the message will still
appear....
If i create a certificate(with selfcert.exe) i can add it
to my project but the certificate is not trusted(?) so
the message will still appear.

How can i get rid of this message?
I use the macro more then 400 times a day so
it's starting to get very annoying to give permission
every time..
 
that "a program is trying to send mail with the command item.send"

in Dutch it is: "Een programma probeert berichten te verzenden met de
opdracht Item.Send."

Of course it is, I programmed it that way! How can one shut up this nag-ware
option? The vba-program is supposed to run on a server distributing mails...
 
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. They
cannot be simply turned on or off with a user option or registry setting.

However, 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

In earlier versions of Outlook, standalone users 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.

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 and either your application needs
to support versions besides Outlook 2003 or your application runs extenal to
Outlook, you have these options for modifying your program to avoid the
security prompts (roughly in order of preference):

-- 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
recommends. However, it applies only to COM add-ins and external programs;
you cannot use Extended MAPI in Outlook forms or VBA.

-- Use Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/), a third-party
COM library that wraps around Extended MAPI but parallels the Outlook Object
Model, providing many methods that the Outlook model does not support

-- 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.
