BlankThe thing I'm trying to do is change the private flag to be turned on
in a whole ton of contacts at one time. It would almost certainly be just
one folder that I want to do, but other methods would work fine.
Thanks,
Chris

Easiest way (in my mind) would be to create a table view grouped by
Sensitivity, mark one of the contacts as Private, collapse that group, and
then drag all the contacts you want to mark as private over into the the
group marked as Private. If that makes sense. I can give much more precise
instructions if you want.
 
That worked perfectly!

Excellent. When I first found that feature, I was thrilled. Very hidden.
Up there with the ability to Control-C copy many XP dialog boxes.
