security waring before delting and stop drag and drop

P

peter

I am looking for two workarounds in Outlook 2007:

1. Appointments, contacts, etc. can "fastly" be deleted by
highlighting and pressing the delete button. In my opinion this is too
fast.

Is there a possibility to add a "security warning" by an addin or
similar which shows: "Do you really want to delete this entry? "
before the appointment is deleted?

For emails there is this query before the final erasure, but for
appointments and contacts - as far as I've seen - not. Also deletions
are not even logged in the Journal.

2. Is there a way to "switch" drag and drop for appointments "off".
The aim is that an appointment is no longer moved after "touching" it
but only could bei edited by opening?

Thanks for any help.

1. You could add VBA code to watch for deletions, or just look in the
Deleted items folder to recover them (assuming you are deleting saved items
and not using shift delete).

2. no.

Sorry, I have no idea how to to this. Could you give me some hints?

So there is no way to diable drag&drop for appointments?

I can not believe that I am the only one who "accidentally" sometimes
moves an appointment in the time scale.

Because this is not logged, the exact old appointment could not be
reconstructed.
