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. Example 07/19/2004 SEH Notes: Left message on home voicemail |

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 "Hufault" wrote: Thank you, Sue. Impressive Website. I've been looking for something like this.

You need to publish the form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formpub.htm
The FormatDateTime() function governs how the date/time appears. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8aebkz6s.aspx -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Joe" wrote in message ...

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. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You need to publish the form.

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, 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?
