Hi all,
I'm an occasional user of VBA, most recently when I copied and pasted some code to send an e-mail for a reminder (thanks to Sue Mosher, I believe). After a little trial and error I got it working after installing 'Redemption' and lowering my Security Settings to 'Medium'.

My question is this - what is a simple and safe way to stop the pop up that appears every time I now start Outlook that says "Do you want to enable macros?" Basically, I want to enable, by default and without prompting, *my* "macro" that I've stuck in 'ThisOutlookSession' but I would like a warning about any other macros that try to run.

I remember from previous occassions of using VBA with Excel and Access the problem could be avoided by digitally signing the code, but it was never clear to me how this could be done in a simple (and free!) way by a home user.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and help!

See http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/selfcert.htm or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/217221.

Once you self-sign and restart Outlook, you shouldn't be prompted any longer.
