You should never use CreateObject when coding natively in Outlook. If you always generate your objects from the Outlook.Application object, you won't get the security prompt.

Take care,

Agreed, thanks JP.

I have to confess that I only discovered this tip a short while ago, which is why I also included it in this code update.

Regards,

Daniel

Daniel,

I would also note that creating a reply programmatically doesn't mark the message as Read. You would need to do that by calling myItem.Unread = False.

I notice your code creates the reply message before asking the "Are you sure?" question to the end user, but doesn't destroy the reply message if they answer "no".

FYI- Here's another way to disable "Reply To All", by preventing your recipients from even accessing the option. Although I must say I've never tested it. >:)

ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Actions("Reply to All").Enabled = False

Thx,
