Disable Outlook Security Prompt

Hi,

I am trying to find a way that I can disable the outlook security popup when using the the outlook email script. I have had to rewrite my module which originally used CDO to email, for half of the business who I have no control over their IT.

Basically a module determines if your are using FirstClass as your default mail client, if you are it goes to the CDO script if not it goes to the Outlook mail object script using late binding.

I need to find a way that I can handle the popup as the script sends multiple emails dependant upon the submission made by the person submitting the request using my form.

I can't use anything that requires installation such as security manager and the users only have basic rights on their pc's.

In which case realistically you can't - if CDO not permitted.
(we assume reverting to a pre-security prompt SP is not viable !!)

Ron de Bruin offers a basic SendKey method but most would avoid it: http://www.rondebruin.nl/mail/prevent.htm

No, there is no standard functionality for 2003 that I'm aware of

Given the above I would remind anyone replying that no "hack chat" is permitted on this board.
the above is not aimed at any particular individual - just a general pre emptive reminder of policy

My recollection (and this is really not my area) is that you can build a COM add-in and have the administrator allow this to bypass the security prompts. I can't recall offhand if this has to be a .Net thing and then create a Shim or not.

Unfortunately some of our staff are based in council offices and so we litterally cannot have anything installed on their machines as you can imagine. I have just purchased VBMAPI security evader which gives me a virtual com addin made up by a load of class libraries.

I suppose another method could have been to write an email script and have the staff add it to their outlook client and then the spreadsheet would call that, but the users have low level IT skills and I physically don't have time to talk hundreds of people through how to do this.

Do you think VBMAPI security evader will solve my issue? And also I am using their example function:
