Allowing Access Popup
I have set up a mail merge which I am using alot to mail out bulk emails. I
had this working fine earlier, I could send out 300 mails within seconds. But since I gave a work collegue access to the mailbox used to send these mails and also the mailmerge file it started to prompt us each time a mail was to be sent. The prompt was informing us that an application was trying to use Outlook and whether to allow. So that's now 300 yes clicks!!! I understand that there is a piece of software which presses the yes button of this popup which is fine but it was working great before, without the software! My question is, how do I get it to work as it was before? Something to note is that my collegue was using Word 2000, whereas I am using Word 2003, I believe this is what cause the popup to happen. I have had her upgraded but the problem remains. Any help is much appreciated! Graham |

Allowing Access Popup
The answer most probably is that you can't. It's a security feature of
Outlook. The way to overcome it is to use the "Express ClickYes" utility that is available as a free download from: http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/ -- Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response Doug.
I aggree, but what I dont understand is that I had emails being fired out before without the software and no popups. I'm a little confused so I'm just gonna install the clickyes software and continue my life as though it never happened Thanks.

The pop-up is part of Microsoft's continuing security measures so yes it is
possible that you didn't have it earlier. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Graham wrote: Thanks for the response Doug.
