Anyone know of a setting/workaround that prevents this prompt?

Try adding the domain as a trusted site in the Security tab under Tools\Preferences…

I tried adding the site as a Local Network sites AND as a trusted site, to no avail.

Is there a workaround for Internet Explorer 7 that can be implemented in the design of the memo form (or wmemo agent) that will prevent this popup?

Cheers.

Not really. IE7’s security may be a bit overzealous, but that’s because previous versions would allow all kinds of unpleasant shenanigans. The problem here is that your code is trying to close the browser, not just the window it opened (or a pop-up window). There’s no real way to tell the browser “relax, dude, I opened you from another program” from inside the browser.
