Hi All,

To prevent conflict in using my perso Forms, I think about using something
like a flag

I think about using à personal field to put the name of the current user and
release this value when the file is closed

etc...

But perhaps a Built'in fuction can do this ....

any idea Sue ?
 
YOu can return the current user in VBA or VBScript behind a custom form with a call to Application.Session.CurrentUser.
 
Excuse me Sue I didn't explain may sefl correctly

here is the situation
Server Exchange 2003 SBS & +/- 5 Outlook 2003
we're 5/6 users using outlook2003 over Lan

User A on computer A is using Outlook 2003 he open the contact item
"John Do" and he is updating some information

User B on computer B open the same contact item 10 sec after User A , User
B want to modify something and save while USER A is still updating the
contact item

How do I know from computer B accout UserB that this Item is currently busy
(User by User A)

I hope this example is more explicit

thks

Actually I use a workarroud solution by putting the name of current user in
a field and save the item
When the item is release I flush that field

When someone open the item, if the field is emplty I allow all operation
otherwise i only allow to see the contact item


this work but...
I have to perform save item twice (at the opening / closing) even if the
user modify nothing on the contact item

Use the Item_Open event to stamp user information into a custom property and to check the current value of that property. Then the Item_Close event to clear the user stamp.
