How to make a column in outlook view Read only?

[Sue Mosher [MVP]]

You can't make a field in a view read-only by any direct means. The solution, if users have views with in-cell editing turned on, is to use code behind a custom form for the items to bar any changes from being saved unless the item is first opened:

Dim mblnIsOpen

Function Item_Open()
mblnIsOpen = True
End Function

Function Item_Write()
If Not mblnIsOpen Then
Item_Write = False
MsgBox "You must open this item to make changes."
End If
End Function
