I am sending an email to many by mnail merge and when I start the mailmerge I gert a warning about the programme accessing my email addresses. I have to check the box to allow access for 10 minutes and then check to allow to access each of the email adresses. This is taking ages as I have 2,000 to send out. How can I automatically allow access to all - or turn off the warning in some way?
1. For Word versions prior to 2007, there's a free utility called Express Clickyes that answers this dialog for you - see http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/ 2. However, they charge for their "Pro" version that works with 2007 3. If you use the HTML format merge to email you will probably be able to avoid these messages. (No, I don't understand why the potentially more dangerous HTML mail is allowed through). -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Suze" <Suze @discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:369DBD42-1DEF-4F90-9464-F0F5666AF453@microsoft.com... >I am sending an email to many by mnail merge and when I start the mailmerge > I gert a warning about the programme accessing my email addresses.

I have this same annoying 'problem'. Surely Microsoft should have a fix for this issue between their two programs and not expect us to spend more on another program to run their software more efficiently? Unless they have shares in Express-Clickyes.......???????? "Peter Jamieson" wrote: > 1.

I agree that it is annoying. Unfortunately, a. this dialog box was introduced to make it more difficult for malware to send e-mails automatically using the addressbook in Outlook. So it is a "fix" for another problem. b. I imagine there is a lot of discussion on the web about whether /that/ problem could have been avoided in the first place and/or whether it could have been fixed in a less irritating way. I imagine it probably could, but I'm not going to start adding to that discussion here, mainly because... c. I don't work for Microsoft and can't do anything to change the situation. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Rayashe" wrote in message news:879C60A2-4327-4069-A2A9-31D984DF3BDA@microsoft.com... >I have this same annoying 'problem'.
