"number of days" question
Is there a way in Outlook to:
(1) count the number of days between two dates? and/or (2) move a specified number of days before or after a particular date? I am an attorney new to the Outlook Calendar and frequently need to set deadlines based on number of days from an event (such as court filing, etc). I am sure there is a way, I just cannot seem to locate the information |

"number of days" question
1 - Not sure if there's a quick way to do it
2 - While in the calendar hit Control-G (for Go To) and enter the date and a addition or subtraction and it'll work. For example: 10/21/2005 + 90d should go 90 days out from today "Lawyer in Florida" Lawyer in wrote in message ...

"number of days" question
1) No. While Outlook easily moves to a specific number of days after a date,
it can't easily calculate how many days between day 1 and day 2. Excel has a formula that does it easily and I believe that chameleon clock and 1st clock can do it too. 2) Moving ahead is easy - if you are moving ahead from the date in an open appointment form, type 4d and outlook enters the date 4 days from the day originally in the form. Or use Go to (Ctrl+g) to move there. Backwards is a harder - you need to type 'before - outlook doesn't accept - (minus sign). http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2005/up...tm#naturaldate http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2003/20030721.htm -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "Lawyer in Florida" Lawyer in wrote in message ...
