Adding Dates & Times to Outlook Emails

[Guest]

Hi,
I recently purchased from Sperry Software there Insert Date / Time Add-In
for Outlook.
Unfortunately this product does not appear to work on Office 2003 (SP3) SBE
UK versions. My OS is XP Home (SP2)
Does anyone know of a similar product that will work in the UK, or a way of
achieving this in outlook.
I travel a lot in different time zones, and a similar product would be
really useful
Thanks

It should work. Have you checked with Sperry support?

Diane Hi

On the 18th August Mike Sperry requested the the version number of Outlook I
was using the same day I notified them of the problem, and I replied by
return.
Three days later I asked if they had any information for me, and did not
receive a reply.
After a further two days I emailed again saying I was disappointed not to
have received a reply, in view of ther customer sevice comments on thier
website. The same day I received a reply apologising for the delay, and
informed Mike was very busy working on the issues and trying to resolve them,
and that they would honour the refund policy past the normal 30 days.
After almost another seven weeks (9th October) I emailed again, asking for
the current situation, and did not receive a reply.
After a further 8 days I requested a full refund, which Sperry Software say
they have done, but 3 days after thier email the refund has yet to appear on
my credit card account.
As I said to Sperry Software I would have preffered that the software worked.

Assuming I understand exactly what that program does, you can make a custom
form and use a macro to insert the date and time or use a windows macro
program or Activewords to enter the date and time -

Diame Hi

I have looked at the webpage you detailed, and tried unsuccesfully to create
the template datestamp.oft. I have downloaded it, when I run it I receive an
error message "The Custom form could not be opened, Outlook will use an
Outlook form instead"
I cant find how to create a New Form
That's why I opted to buy a third party add-in
Thanks

you need to publish it to make it work because of tightened security.

Can you please give me the name of the file to download and where I can find
it.

Last Microsoft search came up with 258,000 itmes, and the page you refered
me to told you how to download the file, but not where the file was or what
it's called.

Thanks

what file are you looking for? the date stamp template? it's linked on the
date stamp page... http://www.outlook-tips.net/files/datestamp.oft

Diane Hi

I have datestamp.oft sitting on my hard drive in C:\My Documents\My
Downloads\microsoft

The file wont run because it's not been published.

The page you reffered me to says Download and run the .exe for the form it's
this .exe that I cant find to download.

Thanks.

that's just using the WYWO form as an example. Actually, that page isn't
very helpful - it only addresses using forms from Microsoft's app farm,
which used to be installed by script in the less secure days.

I shoulda given you this link:

Diane Hi,

I have looked at this new page and it says 1. Look on the forms Tools where
do I find that?

Is ther not somewhere a step by step guide that takes you from start to
finish?

I am finding this most confusing, I dont have brilliant sight, and the
screen examples shown are unreadable, if you adjust the view there distored
and unreadable.

Sorry to be such a pain.
