' Get the Views collection for the Contacts default folder.
Set objName = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objViews = objName.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Views
' Enumerate the Views collection and lock the user
' interface for any view that can be accessed by
' all users who have access to the Notes default folder.
For Each objView In objViews
If objView.SaveOption = olViewSaveOptionThisFolderEveryone Then
Call LockView(objView, True)
End If
Next objView
End Sub
Sub LockView(ByRef objView As View, ByVal blnAns As Boolean)
' Examine the view object.
With objView
If blnAns = True Then
' Lock the user interface and
' save the view
.LockUserChanges = True
.Save
Else
' Unlock the user interface of the view.
.LockUserChanges = False
