Short answer: No.
Long answer: 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.

Sue,
Great info below. My question is related, but different.
One of my users started getting the "A program is trying
to access your email addresses" message right after I
upgraded her from Outlook 2k2 to Outlook 2k3. Nothing else
on her computer changed. Specifically, it happens when she
creates a new email message. The moment the new email
window opens, there is the alert message.
Her upgrade is part of a test rollout I'm doing for my
users. She's the 6th user to move from O2k2 to O2k3, and
is the only one getting this alert message. This tells me
is something specific to her computer.
I know what the alert message is for, and I'm not
interested in stopping it. I am, however, interested in
determining exactly which program/application is making an
API call to Outlook, which causes it to throw up the alert.
So, how do I determine what program is trying to access
the Outlook object model? I'm hoping that somewhere, there
is some hidden switch or command line function that can
tell me this.
Thanks in advance for your help,
-Jim in Rhode Island

It is not possible to determine which application is making the call to
Outlook, at least not through any means built into Outlook. Outlook itself
doesn't know.
