I don't have the answers to your questions, but it looks as if the more serious hindrance would be where the setup includes the Windows 2000 domain controller rather than the Windows 2003 domain controller. Before they could "turn on" Virtual List Views "enhancement" (if, as you ask, it can be turned off and on in the first place), they'd first have to buy the newer 2003 domain controller. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
