Default Remoting Outlook via Word - security problem

Thanks for this. The problem I have is that I am not interacting with Outlook
directly so I can't use the solutions that deal with Outlook: My app simply
calls Word's "Mailmerge-to-email" feature and does not directly interface
with Outlook at all.
The only solution I seem to be able to find is to use Word for doing the
mail-merge and then retrieve the documents back and write my own routine to
email them. It just seems a shame to have to do that when Word has such a
simple-to-use feature

Thanks,
Frans

Take a look at the information at

library to avoid the security.

I don't think this is quite the right forum but am unsure about the best
forum for this question so hope someone in here can help me...

My app remotes Word to mail merge letters and then remotes Word to email
the
letters via Outlook (using Word's mailmerge-to-email functionality).

Now, if you do a mailmerge-to-email directly in Word then Outlook will not
bother you with security messages as Word is trusted by Outlook. But
because
I am remoting Word, the same mailmerge-to-email causes Outlook to prompt
the
user to continue for each and every email you send. I understand why that
is
required.

However, I would like to write a plug-in for either Word or Outlook that
can
be trusted so I can avoid the security messages. Is that even possible? If
so, can someone point me in the right direction?

I have considered doing the mailmerge in my app and directly controlling
Outlook, but that just becomes too much work.

At the moment the calling app is a VB6 app.

Any pointers to reading material gratefully received.

Thanks,
Frans
