Dim objView As View

' 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
        .<strong>LockUserChanges</strong> = True
        .Save
    Else
        ' Unlock the user interface of the view.
        .<strong>LockUserChanges</strong> = False
    End If
