I've developed a workflow application in Excel, which starts off with a form, which users complete whenever they have a data/report request. I then want the application to do two things:
From the user end, I want their request to automatically email to me when they click FINISH on the form, so they don't have to worry about sending it themselves.
Second, when I receive their request in my inbox, I want my application to look through all my messages, select all new requests, take the information in the email and log it somewhere.
I have been successful in achieving both of these things and have tested it on my own machine. The problem is, as soon as Outlook detects that another program (i.e my Excel application) is sending mails on my behalf, or looking through my folders, accessing emails etc, it comes up with a security dialog telling me this is the case and do I want to allow it to continue. This is fair enough, what with viruses and all that, but is there any way I can turn this off via the client outlook application while my application is running, or is it a setting with MS Exchange
Cheers!

Having researched this a bit further, seems the only way to bypass Outlook security is by means of seperate software, such as Outlook Security Manager and the like.
What a shame!
