I've been using ClickYes for about a year now, off and on.
With the advent of Win7, Outlook2000 no longer works for me, so I installed my Office 2002 suite and am now dependent on ClickYes for mailings.
Part of my hassle these past two weeks is that ClickYes "doesn't work" under Win7.
This morning the penny dropped - my mail run is driven by Word, which calls Outlook.
I've been thinking of my mail run - Word - as requiring a ClickYes solution.
But Word is the vehicle that invokes Outlook, and it is Outlook that needs the ClickYes response.
Once I told ClickYes to respond to Outlook instead of Word, ClickYes performs as flawlessly as it always had!

Re: ClickYes - trap for young players
We've been using the free ClickYes at work for a couple of years, to be able programmatically to send out hundreds of emails sequentially from Outlook 2003, without having to (yes, you've guessed it!) Click on Yes!

- Here's a 3rd party supplying a robot to overcome MSoft's robotic response to hundreds of robotic emails.
- And here go out hundreds of emails robotically ...
As far as I can see you (and I), by installing ClickYes, are now vulnerable to any rogue Office project that decides to send out emails.

I should have paid more attention to your post, especially the bit about "2003".John Gray wrote:We've been using the free ClickYes at work for a couple of years, to be able programmatically to send out hundreds of emails sequentially from Outlook 2003, without having to (yes, you've guessed it!)

This thread says in part:
This error with Outlook 2002 when installed on Windows Vista. The technical details are that Outlook 2002 uses the "Protected Storage Interface" to store its passwords, and this is not supported in Windows Vista. The following article describes the problem in more detail, but does not give a fix for Outlook 2002 when installed on Vista. Save password setting not retained in Outlook or Outlook Express: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290684/en-us Mainstream support for Outlook 2002 ended in June, 2006.
So having installed Office 2000 on this 64-bit Win7 notebook, customized it, uninstalled it when I found Outlook 2000 won't run under Win7, installed Office 2002, customized it, I will now uninstall Office 2002 because it doesn't remember passwords and install and customize Office 2003.
