MS Outlook Warning

[djc728]

I'm sending emails out using Email Client and the MS Outlook warning message comes up for each email sent ( see attached image ).

I was wondering if anyone knows how I might be able to disable this.

What does the Help have to offer when you click it?

[djc728]

Absolutely nothing -- in fact it comes up and says there is no help on this topic. Now that I find funny.

Hi djc728,

It is the way FileMaker communicates with Outlook to send the email. When FM makes the connection with Outlook, it doesn't do it in a very secure way and Outlook's security dialog is triggered.

Short of FileMaker fixing this (it's an issue since v8), you can use three work arounds. The first is to use a program called Click Yes Pro, which disables the Outlook security dialog, relatively cheap method and we use this. The second is to use Productive Computing's Outlook manipulator relatively expensive for something as trivial as this. Finally you can try using some form of vbscript within Outlook, I believe you can write a COM module (I looked into this about 3 years ago) which' might' be able to suppress the dialog.

Unfortunately, I've sent numerous bug reports to FM about this since the v8 days and frankly ended up paying for click yes pro and Outlook Manipulator

Looks like this may be possible to get around. Below is a Microsoft article for Outlook 2007 concerning this security notification.

Curious, what AV product are the two of you who have seen this using? I've never seen this come up. My environments have had Microsoft Security Essentials or Symantec Endpoint.

I'm also looking for alternatives to this warning message. Here's one I found - not free...

So from everything I can see it says you basically can't change the setting in outlook easily.

You have to manually edit the registry.

 

Add the following key to the registry (create the key if it doesn't exist):

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice14.0OutlookSecurity

Use the following value:

    ObjectModelGuard, DWORD =2

If the key above does work, you could try the set of keys below. If the keys don't exist in the registry, you'll need to create them.

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftOffice14.0outlooksecurity

PromptOOMSend, DWORD  = 2

AdminSecurityMode, DWORD = 3

 

Here's the link to the webpage that has some more details.

Another solution is to do this, use this 3rd party solution, which I obviously haven't tried but

Here's a couple more links for you.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/abafa8fc-dc49-456a-a6df-0b00a2c35532/

 

In that article they recommended slighly different settings.

This issue is because of the enhanced security features of Outlook 2010.

Create following registry key and Dword values to resolve it:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftOffice14.0OutlookSecurity

Dword: PromptOOMSend

Value: 2

Dword: PromptOOMAddressBookAccess

value: 2

Dword : PromptOOMAddressInformationAccess

Value:2

Dword: PromptOOMMeetingTaskRequestResponse

Value: 2

Dword: PromptOOMSaveAs

Value: 2

Dword: PromptOOMFormulaAccess

Value: 2

Dword: PromptSimpleMAPISend

Value: 2

Dword: PromptSimpleMAPINameResolve

Value: 2

Dword: PromptSimpleMAPIOpenMessage

Value : 2

if you can use SMPT settings and use gmail rather than going through your local email program, you won't have these issues. It's pretty easy to set up and you can have a dedicated gmail account for your database emails.

You have to manually edit the registry... snip  

 

The registry hack works perfectly for my scripts to send emails through outlook.

 

Many thanks
