Microsoft Outlook

[Neilh]

Hi

I work as an acccountant in a business and the accounts software we use will email payment advice details to our supplers when we make payments. It does this by creating an email in Outlook (not Outlook Express) and attaching the advice note to the email as a word attachement.

However, when I give the relevant command in the accounts software, Outlook comes up with a warning that another programme is automatically trying to send emails. The problem is that it does this for each individual email which can be a bit of a pain when trying to send 30+ emails!

Anyway of turning this 'warning off'?

Thank you in advance.

Neil

What's the Accounting software?

Hi

The software is Cedar Oppen Accounts, but the 'warning' is coming from Microsoft Outlook.

Outlook issues warnings whenever external software tries to perform certain operations. I'm not aware of any way to turn this off (deliberately so, for security reasons).

The point at which Outlook is, in this case, raising the warning is when the accounts software tries to fire the 'send' command. If you had it create a new message, populate the messge, attach the document but then left the message open for you to click the send button, I believe you would not get the warning. (Though this depends upon whether your accounts software supports this option.)

The alternatives that may be available to you are for the accounts software to use its own email sending routines, or to use different email software just for this purpose. Obviously this would depend upon whether your accounts software supports the options.

4.	Type SharedFolderScript, and then press ENTER.
5.	On the Edit menu, click Modify.

If it's a Public folder, then these steps:
