Hi Gerard,
In theory it is possible to turn the security warnings off, but I tried it over a looong period and gave up. I have heard many programmers with the same experience. Also consider that IF you are able to turn it off, it will be a per machine routine. By that I mean that you must either change the settings on every machine, or if you use Exchange, you must change the settings for each user. As I wrote in my first message, Outlook Redemption is by far your best choice. I have used it for years, works perfectly.

>>As Tore suggested, Redemption is a possible solution - but depending upon your environment you may want to start sending messages from your application via SMTP instead. It's much less prone to Microsoft's whims...
