Change default journal entry type from "phone" to "task"?

[Allen Kitchen]

I use journal heavily - but not for recording phone calls,
for recording time spent on tasks and other details about
them. Each newly-created journal entry defaults to
entrytype "Phone". How can I change this to default to
entrytype "Task"?

Thanks..

Add this code to a custom journal form, then publish the form. Depending on
how you use the journal, you can either make the new form the default for
the Journal folder or make it the global default using the tool described at
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm#changedefault .

Function Item_Open()
If Item.Size = 0 Then
Item.Type = "Task"
Item.Start = Now
End If
End Function
