Inbox > User Defined Fields > Printed

[tlw]

Good afternoon.

One of our staff would like to configure their Inbox with a Custom Field
which shows when/if an email has been printed. In the process of trying to
add/enable this feature (if exists) they have added a custom field to their
Inbox "Printed" (All Document Fields > Printed) which shows "None" next to
all emails. We have tried printing however this field does not update at all.

Is anyone aware if this feature exists and how to enable?
Also what is this "Printed" feature for?

Thanks!

This is for "Outlook 2003 - SP2"

Try making a User Defined Field ( a new field) called Print Date formatted
as a date field and using that.

There are many fields in Outlook that even though you can view them
anywhere, do not work unless you are using them in the associated Folder. I
think it's safe to assume from your experience that "printed" is not a
Calendar field.

Thanks for your response Judy. Sorry for my ignorance, I have created the
custom field as you suggest but I am unsure how to link this to when a user
prints?

Currently it shows "None" and is not updating at all.

You will need to type in it. If you want help programming in Outlook, head
down the corridor to the programmers newsgroup.
