When trying to use mail merge you may receive the following warning:
Microsoft Outlook
A program is trying to access email address information stored in Outlook. If this is unexpected, click Deny and verify your antivirus software is up-to-date.
While you can Allow this, it will keep coming back. If you Deny you may still get the Email compose box, but the email address will not be filled in.
The fix for this is to:
- Run Outlook as administrator
- File -> Options -> Trust Centre -> Trust Centre Settings -> Programmatic Access -> Never Warn Me About Suspicious Activity (Not Recommended)
