Is this possible with VBA? Prevent MessageClasses to be safed in public folders...

[Mario Kremser]

Hi Newsgroup,

can someone tell me if it is possible to prevent our outlook 2003 clients
from saving documents (not mails) into public folders. The size of our
public folders is increasing fast (200 gb atm). We run exchange2003. I'm not
a VBA programer but I know a bit of C#.

So I thought maybe I could publish a VBA script with group policies and
overload the method that saves documents, look if target = public folder and
output a "not possible"-messagebox - or something like that. Possibly its
also much easier or there is no way to do this on clientside?.

Please help me by answering on this topic!
Thanks.

best regards,
Mario

You don't need code for that. Just have the admins set permissions on who
can create items in those folders. The users will get permissions errors if
they don't have rights to do that.
