  • Microsoft Outlook 97
This article was previously published under Q257494

SUMMARY

When you run Outlook and use Microsoft Exchange Server as your e-mail server, you can share folders on the server with other users on your network. If you share your Calendar by giving owner permissions to several users, and the users create appointments in your calendar, you cannot easily tell who created the appointment, or when it was created.

This article explains how to add fields to your view so that you can determine the meeting organizer and meeting creation date.

MORE INFORMATION

Follow these steps to customize your Calendar view:
  1. On the View menu, point to Current View, and then click Active Appointments.
  2. Move the mouse pointer to one of the column headings (such as Subject), and then right-click that heading. Click Field Chooser in on the shortcut menu.
  3. In the Field Chooser, change from Frequently-used fields to All Appointment fields.
  4. Click Organizer, and then drag Organizer to the column heading area. You see red arrows appear that indicate the column heading's position. Release the mouse button when you have the field where you want it.
  5. In the Field Chooser, change from All Appointment fields to Date/Time fields.
  6. Click Created, and then drag Created to the column heading area. You see red arrows appear that indicate the column heading's position. Release the mouse button when you have the field where you want it.
