If a record is set with private='yes' only the extension that is set in 'owner' can see that record.

So, if extension 200 has private records, and 201 some others, then set them like:

owner='200',private='yes'
owner='201',private='yes'

when you import a phone book will it only be for one user? i was under the impression that FOP had a global address book but i can only see it for the user that i installed it from?

Thanks again

mysql -u root -p asterisk -e "delete from visual_phonebook"
