Change Conflict Message Resolution? |
|
|
Hi,
We're working with public folders on exchange 2003 and outlook 2003.
When 2 people have a contact (located in the public folder) open at the same
time and make changes to it, they save it and a message box appears with help
on how to solve the conflict.
What we would like it to do is: when the second person tries to make a
change it should tell him that it has been changed at he must close the
contact down without saving, reopen and then make his changes. It was
possible on exhange 2000 but no one can remember how we did it?

There's never been any way to do this in any version of Exchange that I'm
aware of. There's no opportunistic locking in public folders. You can change
the permissions so that only certain people or groups are allowed to edit
the items in this folder - that's often the best setup anyway. |

Perhaps I'm not making myself completely clear. English is not my first
language, but I hope it goes anyway.
2 people from group employee, who are allowed to edit contacts in the public
folder. Open the same contact and guy #1 edits and saves and keeps it open
for viewing, 5 minutes later guy #2 edits too and tries to save, thats when
the conflict resolve method pops up, instead we would like the contact to be
unsaveable so that guy #2 will have to colse the contact and then reopen to
make his changes.
If that was what you replied impossible to, then sorry for my
misunderstanding.
Thanks in advance

Yes, what I'm saying is that it doesn't work that way, at least I've never
seen it work that way. Your English is just fine. :)
