Users of single Parent DB visible to all

[XeroxLTD]

I have been setting up about 200 users in ACT! from all over the world.  The one thing that I noticed is that all users in the main database are visible to everyone that I set up. 

Let me elaborate; there are users from Mexico and India, and as of now they can see each other (users, not contacts), and I was wondering if anyone else has a possible solution so that I can make only the users from Mexico see only Mexico users, the users from India can only see India users, etc. 

I have deployed ACT! to about 12 countries and just by adding them, it made the contact list 200 bigger.  We can not change a users contact info to "limited access", so if anyone knows of a way to minimize or change it so that users from a country can only see the other users from that counrty, and not every user that I have set up in the parent database.

I know I can create separate databases for each country, but that would not be beneficial for overall Regional reporting that my superiors have requested.

Unfortunately this is not possible in ACT! as you have found. I have put the suggestion to Sage that they change this ever since the release of version 2005 but the problem remains. It severly limits ACT! as a potentila product for franchise organisations. I have had to suggest other products to my customers and Sage misses out on the sale.
