Default how to disable security message in save attachments macro "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses . ."

Try replacing this statement:

with

Set myOlApp = Application

...
The following code saves the attachments in the selected email. It
lets the user browse to select which folder to save the attachements
in. It works fine except for the following security warning, "A
program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in
Outlook".

I have read that the security warning can be stopped by using the
existing instance of Outlook instead of initiating a new Outlook
session in memory. I tried removing the word "New" in the following
code but the While-Wend code just kept cycling and the
attachments.count showed up as zero, (code: Dim myOlApp As New
Outlook.Application)

I also read the I can use Redemption, but I don't understand what
changes to make to the code to use Redemption.

I am using Outlook 2003.

I really appreciate any help -- Thanks
