How to use custom field in email view

[James Minns]

Hi all,
Using Outlook 2003 in English
I've added a some custom text fields (eg. "Request ID") to the current view
(inbox folder). I was hoping to be able to type a value into this new text
field for each email in the inbox, so I could easily sort and reference the
messages.

I see the empty column in the view on screen, but how can I enter a value in
that column? Double-click opens the message and it's not in the message
properties or options...

Any ideas? Thank you in advance,

James

YOu can do that if you set the view for in-cell editing. It's on the Other Settings options for the view.
