Dear Outlook Gurus,

I maintain some scientific equipment within a University and I like to
keep a log book for each bit of gear to record its maintenance history
(what got fixed and when). Unfortunately, the log books are kept near
the equipment and often go missing.

I've tried to configure Office 2k for the job but I've been
unsuccessful to date.

I'd like to end up with a date field, and an associated paragraph of
text, without having all the intermediate dates in between. Just
those days when work was done.

I'm using Outlook 2000 SR-1 (9.0.0.3821) on an Exchange server under
Windows 2000 SR-4 (5.00.2195).

Any clues?

Ciao,
Chappy.
 
You can indeed use the Calendar for this but it sounds like it's more
convinient to you when you use a table view instead of the Calendar view.
You can define a new view by going to View-> Current View-> Define View...
and choose for a table view.

Thanks Robert. I never would have worked that out.

That worked a treat.

Ciao,
