catagories and outlook 2000

[Guest_imported]

Does anyone know of a way of restricting the use of the catagories as applied to the public contacts list.

My MD wants me to restrict the entry of contacts to only those on his approved list ( master list) and refuse any entry not on that list.

Any help greatly appreciated. I dont think it can be done without recoding the entry forms.

Highlight a contact and click on Edit>Catagories
OR Double click on any Contact and click on Catagories.

In the Catagories Dialog box click on Master List.

Highlight what you want to remove and click on delete.

The only problem is that anyone can add catagories to the list at any time.

what is wanted is for the ability to add catagories to be only available to himself and nobody else

Now I am confused.

Is the idea that he can input contacts that no one else can see by selecting his own private catagories? Or, is it that anyone can seed the contact but only he can select the catagories?

Almost sounds like what he wants is his own private contact folder with password protection.

he wants to be the only one who can add catagories to the company contacts list public folder.
anyone can add addresses but can only use the approved list
