I'd like to hear from others that use the 'journal option
what is its use? what are the benefits of using it

also if someone can view your calendar can they also view the journa
options

You can use it however you want: Keep a daily diary. Record phone calls made
and received. Mark when the first crocus bloomed (last Thursday here -- I
need to make that journal entry).

Each folder in Outlook has its own permissions. Granting someone permission
to read your Calendar doesn't affect permissions on the journal folder.

Sue,
I'm glad to find you. I'm a mortgage loan officer that uses Outlook every
second of the day. I'm always trying to be more efficient with it and that is
why I'm here. Through out the day, I keep track of phone calls, meetings, etc
in my Outlook calendar. I also have an HP Ipaq that I use as well to stay on
top of my business. I have been trying to the task section to list and keep
up with all of the borrowers that I do loans for. I'm not sure if this is the
best way to do everything and that's were I could use your advise. For
example, should I be using journal entries to keep track of what I'm doing in
calendar? Is using task section the best way to track and organize my
borrowers? Any advice would be grateful and welcome.
Thanks
Joey

There is no "best way" other than what works for you. Tracking time spent in two different folders would seem burdensome to some, but to others having a complete record all in one folder would seem a great benefit. Try it different ways and then decide which you prefer.

Diane keeps a good list of Outlook books at http://www.slipstick.com/books/user.htm but I recommend the try-it-yourself approach for things like this.
