Dim objView As Outlook.View
Set objName = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objViews = objName.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderNotes).Views
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)
'Locks the user interface of the view.
'Accepts and returns a View object and user response.
