Post subject: Not prompted to enable macros when Outlook opens, but I want to be Archived from groups: microsoft>public>outlook>program_vba (more info?)
Hi all,
I'm using Outlook 2003 SP3 in an Exchange environment. I have installed
Redemption and am using some code I found on www.outlookcode.com to a)
auto-bcc myself on all messages, and b) auto-add recipients to my address
book. The VBA code itself is working perfectly and does exactly what I want
it to do.
However, after installing Redemption, and also installing the RSS Popper
feed reader for Outlook on the same day, I do not always receive the prompt
to enable macros when I start Outlook. My security settings are on medium.
I used the selfcert.exe program to digitally sign my VBA project (not sure if
that matters).
I even placed some basic code to trigger an alert into the
Application.Startup routine to try and force the prompt every time. I'd say
I get the prompt about 50-75% of the time. If I open Outlook and do not get
the prompt, I can go to Tools-->Macro-->Macros and then the prompt will
appear.
Any ideas on what is preventing the prompt from occurring when Outlook
starts? I removed the RSS Popper feed reeder to see if that was causing the
issue, and it doesn't appear to be the culprit.

Since the change began when you installed the RSS Popper feed reader, maybe
you should disable or remove it to see if it's causing the problem. If it
leaves Outlook.exe running after you close all Outlook windows, that could
definitely cause the symptoms you're seeing.

After signign the code, it should be possible to set the security to high.
You wouldn't have to deal with the prompt then.

Michael,
Thanks for pointing that out. I modified my security settings, and it
appears to be working so far.
Cheers,
Richard

Thanks for the hint, Sue. I previously tried removing RSS Popper and it
didn't clear up my issue. I thought that changing my security level had
fixed the issue as well, but it hasn't completely (although it's a little
more consistent now). After removing RSS Popper, when I close Outlook I do
see that OUTLOOK.EXE is still running. There is an archive tool that our
system admins are pushing into Outlook which installs a toolbar, I wonder if
that could be causing the issue.
As it stands now, I still have to go to Tools-->Macro-->Macros occasionally.
This will trigger the Redemption popup when I send my first email of the
session. After accepting the Redemption terms, everything works fine.
Unfortunately, I don't think I can stop the sys admin from pushing the
archive tool, so I don't know if I have any other options to remedy my issue.
Thanks for your help, though!
