Creating customized task fields in Outlook 2003

[recoverall]

I would like to create a field called "age" in Outlook tasks. I see formulas
and functions available in Customize Current View > Fields > New Field Type:
Formula[Edit] button.
Where may I find the syntax for the listed formulas? Specifically, I want
the field to be equivalent to the Current date minus the Created date.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

See http://www.outlook-tips.net/code/age_form.htm for starters. You'll need
different fields and may not need such a complicated formula.

When I'm not sure of what a function does, I google for the function, ie
"outlook datediff"

Thanks for responding, Diane. However, the form suggested was for a contact.
I would like to calculate the age for a task (i.e., the time elapsed between
when the task was created and today's current date.

I will try googling the function, though. Thanks.
