Making individual contact records private
From previous persons post:
Perhaps I am missing something but I got new laptop and decided to use Outlook instead of Outlook Express AND Palm Desktop software. After combining, I realized that records (contacts, tasks, memos, appts) marked "Private" are totally visible with a little key! I want them totally hidden or at least masked but I can't seem to find any feature. That is totally unacceptable! I have all of my creditcard info, and a lot of other private information including a daily diary, etc. in my Palm and a visible key doesn't mean a darn thing to me. But someone sitting down at my computer can see all of this or God-forbid I lose my computer...now that's a problem. Help someone...if not, how do we get them to add this feature? I agree completely. How is it that Palm has had this basic feature since it's inception and this feature is not even in Outlook 2007 ??!!! Come on guys, you're really dropping the ball here. Many people have been asking for this basic feature. When are you going to add this ??. Until then I guess I'll stick to Palm for now. RD |

If that were true, how would you ever see your contacts again once you marked them private? "Private" means that, in a sharing environment like Exchange, other people sharing your contacts can't see those entries you've marked private; ony you can see them. You'll never be able to hide them from yourself, and rightly so. Having physical access to a PC means, in general, there is no security, unless you can encrtypt your data with a method to which only you know the solution, and there are thrid-party tools that can do that, but Windows (and Outlook) don't come with them by default. -- Brian Tillman |
