I'm writing a standalone application that monitors my company's public exchange folder for any incoming help desk tickets.

As the title of this post suggests, I'm running into the dreaded security prompts that constantly pop-up. This is unacceptable because this program is intended to be run on the desktop while the user works on other activities -- we can't have a security nag pop up every few minutes.

From reading the various solutions out there, I am wondering if I am declaring my Outlook objects incorrectly. Is there a way to have my application assume the privileges of the user's existing and open Outlook session? What I've read indicates that the security warnings shouldn't appear if the user has an Outlook session already open (which will be the case for us).

This is the code I'm using to dimension the objects:
Code:
    Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application = New Outlook.Application
        Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace = objOutlook.Session
        Dim objInBox As Outlook.MAPIFolder = objNS.Folders("...")
        Dim objItems As Outlook.Items = objInBox.Items
We have a similar ticket monitor created in VB6 by another fellow that does not induce these security pop-ups. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the source code but I am fairly confident that he did not use any extravagant work-a-rounds.

By the way, I'm using Visual Studio/VB 2010 and Outlook 2003.

Thanks in advance for any help.
