Have a look for the help file (vbaoutl9.chm) on your Office 2000 CD. This will give you help on Outlook Automation. I've had a quick look but can't find anything - maybe you could search on the exact message the user gets.

>Hello,
>
>I have an application that generates e-mail to members of our educational community, giving them a report of information on file for them. When the operator uses the menu option for this procedure, th e-mails are created automatically and placed in the operator's Outlook Outbox to be sent on the date/time the operator has specified.
>
>My problem is that Outlook 2000 now incorporates a security feature that stops the sending of an e-mail created by another program (VFP in this case), informs the user that this is happening, and waits 5 seconds before allowing the user to answer "Yes" to sending the e-mail. That's a long time when sending 300 e-mails that were intended to maximize efficiency!
>
>Can anyone tell me how I can bypass this "feature" of Outlook without having to reinstall it? I'd also be happy to hear suggestions of other ways to e-mail without having to use Outlook (even though it must remain the default mail client on the computer).
>
>Thanks in advance for your help.
