Manually change 'Date Sent', 'Date received' in messages ... how ?

[Guest]

For uniformity reasons and to have better grip on my correspondence, I want
to store my messages, text, articles received not by internet but on paper in
Outlook after scanning/ OCR them.

I can create a new message from the scanned text. Of course I want to
timestamp these artificial Outlook messages properly, so I can retrieve/
categorize/ index them easily (e.g. with Windows Desktop Search).

Thus in must change 'Date Sent', 'Date received' manually in thes
'fake'messages.

Does any know a way or a program (Visual Basic) to do this. At present I do
not master Visual Basic so I can write it myself.

Depending on your version of Outlook you might want to consider Outlook
Forms or Form Regions instead. You're probably better off asking this
question in outlook.program_vba and/or outlook.program_forms down the hall.

Good luck!
