Outlook General >> Outlook warning I am getting an Outlook warning 'A PROGRAM is trying to
automatically send an email on your behalf, Do you want to allow this? If
this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "no".
When I hit HELP it gives me this item, 'A program is trying to send mail
using Item.Send but does not tell me how to turn it off.'
I use this send PROGRAM regularly and never got this message. HOW DO I
TURN IT OFF. Thanks Billy

You don't turn it off. If you're seeing this when you try to send mail and
you're using Word as your mail editor, chances are it's Adobe Acrobat
producing the error. Your solutions are to update Acrobat to the current
version or remove the PDFMaker add-in. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#acrobat for some help on
that.

Also see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm for your options with respect
to Outlook's Object Model Guard and http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/security
for a tool that can help.

I found the problem.
the email part of my db program has a box to check if you want to see the
email before it goes out. It had gotton unchecked. When I checked it,
everything was fine again.
Thanks for your help.

Outlook General >> Outlook warning Here are your choices:=20

1) Live with the prompts.=20

2) Get someone to rewrite the database program for you so that it uses a =
mail sending technique that avoids the prompts.

3) Use one of the tools at the sites Brian suggested to minimize the =
prompts' intrusion.=20

#2 is the most secure, most functional choice, but is also likely to be =
the most costly.
