RE: STILL IS NOT AVAILABLE... Run A Script not listed in rules wizard

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

If your script is written within Outlook VBA then it should be possible to
write your code so that the warnings do not appear. Do you have any lines of
code similar to:-

Set objOutlook = New Outlook.Application
or
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

If so then try changing this to:-

Set objOutlook=Outlook

If you then create further objects from this, such as:-

Set objNamespace = Outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set objContacts = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Items

and so on, you will prevent the security warning from being shown as
'Outlook' is an in-built object that picks up a reference to the currently
running Outlook application.

If you need any further assistance then post your code and I will see what
needs changing.

I went through the steps you outlined multiple times, and there's no "run a
script" rule. I wonder if my company "turned off" this option?

I was hoping to use this as the VBA procedure I wrote results in the Outlook
Security Warning and is useless because of the warnings (my user would have
to click 'yes' 400+ times a month). I thought by using the RunAScript rule
it may prevent the warnings.

Thanks for responding.

In Rules and Alerts click New Rule
Click 'Start From A Blank Rule' and choose a Step 1 option. Click Next
Select one or more conditions and click 'Next'
Under Select Action you should see an option for 'Run A Script', check it
and click on the 'a script' hyperlink in the bottom window.
Choose the script that you wish to run.
Continue the remainder of the wizard.

I'm using Outlook 2003. I purchased an Outlook VBA book, and it shows
examples of using the rules wizard "run a script". I do not see this option
when I go into rules, and I would really like to use it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.
