My boss has all of these folders in outlook 2000 on windows 2000. She
wants to set the permissions of the folders so I can read them.

Right now she left-clicks on the folder and goes to "properties" then
goes to the permissions tab and adds my name.

This works, but there are like 100 folders! It's taking forever.

Is there a faster way?

There is no answer at this time.

Not that I know of. When you create a new sub-folder it inherits the
permissions of the parent folder, but to add permissions to existing
folders you're pretty much stuck with doing it one at a time. You
could probably do it through VBA, but unless this is going to be a
regular occurrence I wouldn't bother - it'd take longer to get the
code working than to add the permissions individually.

As a closing note, it probably won't work unless you (possibly both of
you) close down Outlook and reopen it after the changes have been
made. At least, that's what we found here. Stupid, but that's
Microsoft for you.

Thanks. For some reason we thought folder permission would not work that way.
