Thanks for your reply. Would the high encryption setting be enough? Where
could I find more info about this? Thanks

I'm thinking of storing things like bank account and credit card info in my
Outlook 2003 Contacts (running stand alone-not on an Exchange server). Is
this a good idea? Of course I'll password protect the data file, but should I
use the High Encryption setting? Thanks
