how do I find out the name/person that created an appointment?

Guest

We use a "shared" calendar in the office to input all of our planned team
activities. Once the appointments are set, they are not changed to meetings
(by adding attendees).

How can I find out the name of the individual that created the appointment?
Is there a "Created By" or "Modified by" audit trail for appointments?

Any help would be great

Use a table view and add that field via the Field Chooser.

I'm trying to do this exactly! Can you elaborate a little more on how to use
a table view and field chooser? Where are these options in the menu? Thanks!

I, too, am trying to get this same information. I cannot find "table view or
field chooser". Need more help. Don't see any additional info to John
Smith's request, either. Thanks.

Table view = recurrence, category, whatever that gives you a list view.

Field chooser - F1 is your friend.

To add the column to show the organizer, drag the Changed By option from Field Chooser to the place you wish. Sort by this column.

With more research, we were able to get the info by doing the following:
1. On the View menu, point to Arrange By, point to Current View, and
then click Active Appointments.
2. Move the mouse pointer to one of the column headings (such as
Subject), and then right-click that heading. Click Field Chooser in on the
shortcut menu.
3. In the Field Chooser, change from Frequently-used fields to All
Appointment fields.
4. Click Organizer, and then drag Organizer to the column heading area.
You see red arrows appear that indicate the column heading's position.
Release the mouse button when you have the field where you want it.
5. In the Field Chooser, change from All Appointment fields to Date/Time
fields.
6. Click Created, and then drag Created to the column heading area. You
see red arrows appear that indicate the column heading's position. Release
the mouse button when you have the field where you want it.
7. Close the Field Chooser, and then expand the columns if needed.
Thanks, Sharon

Great - a detailed longer version of my instructions. With your permission, I will copy it and re-use it (as I do with my own answers and those from other MVPs).

I recently upgraded my staff to outlook 2003 and installed sp2. Now, the
"originator" no longer displays who has entered the item. Instead, the
originator shows the owner for all entries. Any ideas?
