Read-only fields based on users
I am using Outlook 2003 with exchange server, and am in the process of
creating a public database, with custom designed forms. Does Outlook allow anyway of locking/making read-only fields within a form for different users. For example a field that allows the creator to input data, while the users cannot edit this field? Any help gratefully received |

Read-only fields based on users
You'd have to write your own code to do that, getting the current user in an
Open event and preventing Write or Save and disallowing PropertyChange and CustomPropertyChange as needed. There's no built-in way to do that. Globally you could do that based on where the form is stored (which folder) by setting the folder ACL's, but that's not a granular method that could allow field by field locking. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "bushoi" wrote in message ...
