Microsoft completely bulldozed the MAPI interface some couple of years ago now (been a while since you added any service packs ;-). This was their (ill thought out) response to all the email worms that were/still are causing havoc. It caused every untrusted (ie non M$) app that used MAPI to explode and no fix was available at the time.

If you are accessing Exchange mailboxes then there is a security (un)patch that undoes this prompting by allowing you to make your script TRUSTED CODE. If you are accessing PSTs I don't think there is any fix (I could not find one ~8 months ago) but that may have changed.

Have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnout2k2/html/odc_olsecurityovw.asp and do a search for 'MAPI outlook trusted code' or similar on google.
