I'm sorry Rajesh - I have 2002 and 2003 here (and both versions offer my = 2 suggested solutions) so I can't check how it looks in 2000. Perhaps you could give more info on what the overall set up is - in relation to the network, whether you are on Exchange Server etc. I've amended the = thread subject in the hope we can get some more specific advice from other = users in the group. The other thing that occurs to me is that *sometimes* there are country-specific settings in programs that aren't showing up in other = parts of the world. We might need Dian (in Linda's absence) to comment on = this. As a general observation if you don't want individuals to be able to = alter settings then they will need to be set via network admin. If you are = happy for users to be able to control things for themselves then they need to = be trained in what they are doing! LOL Sorry I can't help further. Good luck.

At the risk of a cheeky response, I think your users need a bit of = training in how to use Outlook!
