Microsoft Office Live Small Business Community

I have to say that I love MS Office Live Small Business.  Here is what I'm trying to figure out.  I have several clients of my own and each of them have many contacts.  How can I add my contacts and their contacts and then give them access to only their contacts?  Is it possible for me to do this?  Ideally, if I could create an area for each of my clients where they could sign in and have access to all of their contacts, files and projects and only that particular client could view their own information (contacts, files, etc).  My clients are real estate agents, so to have online ability to add detailed contact information for their contacts and properties, without anyone else being able to access that information, would be wonderful.  I'm not sure if I can do this with Basic or if I need to upgrade.

Any help or direction would be so appreciated,

A possible clue. 

Can you create views for each client? the views, I think can be sparately permitted.

Hi Wenda,

It is possible to split contact information between your clients by setting up a separate Business Application for each client with a common set of lists to manage their contact data and files. Access rights are granted at the Workspace level so unfortunately using different views will not help you. I have developed quite a few solutions like this and included a few design tips on Business Applications that you might wish to check out.
