Sue, One more thing came up. When I published the revised form, with the
date stamp it worked ok on my local folders, but the button did not work on
shared folders. Do I need to publish the form to the shared users "Mail box"
too? Thanks

Look at the code in the form that gets the date/time value. The page I suggested explains how the FormatDateTime function works and even provides a very simple example on how to use it to return a string with a date/time value in a particular format. But since you seem to need another example, you could replace Date with FormatDateTime(Date, vbShortDate).

Sue, This worked. I published the form and the date stamp button works.
thanks
On the other issue, I visited the site you suggested and I don't know what
to do with the code that is there. Do I insert it in with the code in my
form? Do I replace the code in my form with one of the lines of code? Not
sure what to do.

The FormatDateTime() function governs how the date/time appears. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8aebkz6s.aspx

I used this information and it was helpful. When in "design this form" I
complete the work as instructed and "run the form". Everything work great,
the date and time are inserted in the note field. However, when I save the
form and open it, the date stamp does not work. Any ideas? Also, is there a
way to modify the code so only the date shows? (no time)
thanks

Thank you, Sue. Impressive Website. I've been looking for something like this.
Just fyi, looked to me like sperrysoftware already did the leg work and designed something I could use. I got that link from site you referred me to below. Thanks so much for your help.

I'd like to press a button that automatically places today's date, my
initials, the word "Notes:" a carriage return and an indent before writing
my comments.
Excel has a quick key stroke that adds todays date (Ctrl + , does
outlook have something similar? Is there a way to design this in Macros or v
basic?
Please provide specifics.
