Hello,
  I am using mail-merge in word, and for each copy of the
message I need the "A program is trying to send mail using
Item.Send" box appeara, and I must click "Yes" for it to
send. So, to send a list to 80 people, I would have to
click this box 80 times!
  Does anyone know how to disable this pop-up box (and
make the default "yes")?

Thanks,
Tim

The security dialogs that pop up when an application tries to access certain Outlook properties and methods are designed to inhibit the spread of viruses via Outlook; see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup.htm#autosec. If you are a standalone user, Outlook provides no way to suppress this behavior. However, you can use a free tool called Express ClickYes (http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html) to click the security dialog buttons automatically. Beware that this means if a virus tries to send mail using Outlook or gain access to your address book, it will succeed.

For merge to email, the least frustrating course of action probably is to get a third-party bulk mail program -- see http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.htm#massmail. My current favorite is WorldMerge.

However, if you're the administrator in an Exchange Server or HP OpenMail environment, you can reduce the impact of the security prompts with administrative tools. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/admin.htm

Thanks, that makes sense.
