    Dim objName As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim objViews As Outlook.Views
    Dim objView As Outlook.View

Set objName = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objViews = objName.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderNotes).Views
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)
'Locks the user interface of the view.
'Accepts and returns a View object and user response.
With objView
If blnAns = True Then
'if true lock UI
.LockUserChanges = True
.Save
Else
'if false don't lock UI
.LockUserChanges = False
End If
End With
End Sub
