We have been sending a small .fp5 data file as an Outlook Express email
attachment using a script in Filemaker. We recently 'upgraded' to Outlook
2003 desktop client. Ever since then when the script runs the user has to
wait 5 seconds on a Microsoft Office Outlook dialog box warning that "A
program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want
to allow this?...etc... Yes No Help"

Not only is this really irritating but it seems to be preventing some of the
emails from being sent, even though the Yes option is always selected.

Is there a configuration checkbox in Outlook that I can disable this with?
Alternatively, is there a Filemaker command that I can capture a return code
with that indicates when the email has been sent? My theory is that some
emails are not being sent because FM is simply rusinh through the 'master
daily emailsend' script which calls each individual's email script without
waiting for a return code. Therefore while the user is waiting on the dialog
box to enable the 'yes' button another sub-script has been called and
executed consequently falling into a crack.

I've run across this same issue. Unfortunately, 2003 doesn't (last I
checked) have a preference setting for this.

However, there are freeware (or inexpensive) programs who's sole purpose is
to click yes in the dialog whenever it shows up. One of those, can be
downloaded here: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/clickyes.html

Yes, I found this app and installed it, afterwhich the script seemed to run
just fine but only sent one email (instead of the 20 or so it normally
does)????
