I have written an Outlook COM Add-in for Outlook 2000 and 2002. The COM
Add-in polls the items that are in the Appointment and Task lists. When I
used Service Pack 2, I didn't have any problems checking these items.
However, in Service Pack 3, Outlook now prompts the user that an application
is trying to access their e-mail address book. Is there any way for the user
to disable this? In addition, what is the correct way to access the
information without causing this warning?

No, the user cannot disable that. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options. I'd recommend that you look at Redemption.

Sue,

Thanks for the information. After checking your link, I figured out that I
was trying to access "guarded" information from Outlook. Fortunately, I was
able to remove this access and not effect my application.

Thanks,

Kydm
