Default Outlook Security w/Mail Merge

Group,
I'm merging from VBA code (MS Word 2003 w/ Outlook) and all works well
except for the Outlook Security dialogue box that won't quit. I have
installed ExpressClickYes (Thank you Doug Robbins for that hint)- and yes, it
answers to itself, but I want to avoid the annoying question all together--
"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook.
Do you want to continue? etc...." Is there a setting in Outlook that I can
change? Controlling it with my VBA code in the MS Word document would be
perfect, but haven't figured out how to control this.

Default Outlook Security w/Mail Merge

As I understand it, this problem arises whenever you use a number of the
"standard" libraries/objects that let you control Outlook, and you can
only get around it by
a. doing what ClickYes does (which probably intercepts Win32 messages,
works out when the appropriate dialog is being displayed, and responds
appropriately)
b. use a set of libraries that bypasses Outlook's checks, see e.g.
Redemption at

http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/

I do not know if this is the library used by the pay-for MAPILabs
toolkit which may also let you get around this - see

http://mapilab.com/outlook/mail_merge/

However, AFAIK using VBA to control the creation of Outlook messages
will make no difference /on its own/ - you have to find a library that
circumvents the problems.
