User-defined field format in group

G

Guest

I have a user-defined field to hold the order number that a task relates to.
This is a 6-digit number. I have formatted the column to 'Raw', but when I
group by this column, the line saying 'Order No:' at the top of each group
has them in the format xxx,xxx. The are displayed correctly in the columns
as xxxxxx. Is there any way of getting these numbers to display correctly in
both places? It makes it more difficult to scan the numbers quickly when
they are displayed in two different formats.

Thanks,
Tara

that's weird - I replicated your scenario in Outlook Version 2003 (you
didn't state your version). I tried a few different ways and think you
would be best to make a new field that is a TEXT field and use it.

Yes, it's 2003 I'm using.

I guess you're right about the text field :)
It's pretty odd tho!

Thanks,
