Outlook Security Manager
Outlook Security Manager isn't working for one user only.

We have installed the outlook security manager for a lot of users but there is one in particular it will not work for. Other users can log onto this workstation and the security manager works which proves it is not a local workstation issue. We do use a mixture of roaming and non roaming profiles and this particular person has a roaming profile. I am not a VB programmer and do not know how to script but would appreciate any assistance or advice that anyone has.
By the way we are on an XP SP3 based system using Office 2003.

Hello Sandy,

Are there any error messages? Is that system a 64-bit one? Do you use the .NET edition of the component?

Hi Andrei
The answer is no, no and no. Sorry I know this isn't helping.
Thanks

Hi Sandy,

Please make sure Outlook is running. Start Word, press Alt+F11 to open the VBA IDE, double-click ThisDocument in the Project Explorer window, and paste the code below to the code pane. Now choose Tools | References in the main menu and tick the following item: "Microsoft Outlook {version} object library". Finally, place the text cursor on any line of the code just pasted and press F5.

You'll see the security warning. Press No in the dialog and press OK in the error message produced by the code.

Now set UseSecMan = True in the code and press F5 again. This time, Outlook should show an email with qqq@qqq.com in its To field.

Does this work for you?

Option Explicit

Sub testSecMan()
Dim UseSecMan As Boolean
    UseSecMan = False
Dim OutlookApp As Outlook.Application
    Set OutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
Dim mail As Outlook.MailItem
    Set mail = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Dim secman As Object
    If UseSecMan Then
        Set secman = CreateObject("AddinExpress.OutlookSecurityManager")
        secman.ConnectTo OutlookApp
        secman.DisableOOMWarnings = True
    End If
    mail.Recipients.Add "qqq@qqq.com"
    If UseSecMan Then
        mail.Display
    End If
    secman.DisableOOMWarnings = False
End Sub

It came up with a runtime error 429. Active X component can't create object. After running the registry fix I am trying to run the code in its intial state and it comes back with an error stating "Compile error. User-defined type not defined."

Hi Sandy,

Are you installing the Outlook Security Manager or your application that uses the Outlook Security Manager? In the latter case, you need tofollow the Deployment section in the manual. The errors in the VBA code you tested tell that the component isn't registered on that PC.

No, we are installing Outlook Security Manager. It works on this PC for everyone else but not for one particular person. This person has a roaming profile.

Hi Sandy,

If you install the Security Manager using an admin account, then it will work. If this is Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 2008 Server, set UAC to its default level, and run setup.exe, not .MSI. Also, in Control Panel | System | Advanced | Performance | Settings | Data Execution Prevention, choose the " ... for essential Windows programs and services only" flag.
