Outlook security James 29.09.2006 19:56:02 You have ruined Outlook by being overly security conscious and preventing MDB files from being emailed. You have reuined Outlook by not allowing short cuts to be inserted into the text body of Tasks. It is pretty clear that your staff does not use Outlook. I wonder what contact management program they use. I would like to switch. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Re: Outlook security James 30.09.2006 00:44:01 William, I understand what you are saying. That is their position. However, they could leave a configuration option fo the end user. There is no excuse for making that security decision for me. At least that is the way I think. "William Lefkovics [MVP]" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I love sassy posts!

Re: Outlook security James 01.10.2006 00:24:01 Diane, Thank you for the suggestion. I was able to solve the problem by following the link. The other issue I have is inserting File Links and Folder Links in the text body of Tasks. I used that extensively with earlier verisons of Outlook to save time in locating files needed for projects. Our "big brothers" at MS Outlook have "protected" me from myself once again by disabling that function. Do you have suggestions about how to patch or work around this design by MS Outlook team.
