Notification of Public Folder Changes
A frequent question this week came from users
who wanted to know how to be notified as new
messages or appointments are posted to public
folders.
You can receive a copy of new items when they
are posted to a public folder. Right click on
the folder and choose Properties, Administration
tab, Folder assistant button. Set up a rule to
forward posts to yourself or others. You will
need the correct permissions to see this tab -
if you can't see it, ask the administrator or
folder owner to set it up. When an appointment
is forwarded, you can move your copy to your
calendar or create a rule to move it from the
Inbox to your calendar on arrival.
If you don't have the right permissions and the
administrator won't set up a folder assistant
rule, there are utilities that can sync the
folders- see
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.asp and
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync-mail.asp for utilities you can use.
Outlook 2007: Hide Columns in the GAL
If your users complain about all the fields
visible in the GAL, you'll want to check out the
KB article Microsoft recently released. It
explains how to edit the registry to hide some
of the columns. The prerequisite is the April
30, 2009 hotfix described in
KB article 968858.
Even if the users aren't complaining, it's worth
checking out - I really like seeing fewer fields
in the GAL, especially since half the fields I
hid contained no data.
Note that this does not affect the address book
view used for Outlook's Contacts; it applies
only to address lists contained in the GAL.

Outlook 2007 SP2 Contact Printing Bug
If you try to print a selection of Contacts in
any of the Card views, Outlook cashes. It works
fine in table views or if you print all contacts
in the folder, only a selection in any of the
card views fails.
Until a fix is released, either print using a
table view or copy the selection to a new folder
and choose the option to print all items.
This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions…
We're seeing a lot of reports from users that
hyperlinks in email are not working. The error
users receive states “This operation has been
cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this
computer" and instructs the user to speak to
their administrator.
This is not an Outlook error – it’s caused by
settings in Internet Explorer and is a common
problem with the upgrade to IE8. Fix it by
resetting IE’s Internet settings in IE’s Tools,
Internet Options (or Control panel, Internet
Options). Go to the Advanced tab and click
Reset.
If you are using Firefox or another browser as
your default you will need to set IE as the
default browser. Once you verify links are
working in Outlook, make your preferred browser
default.
