I currently have set up a department calendar for all users on the network to view and enter appointments, events and meetings. In doing this I have eliminated using a manual visual calendar that hangs on the wall.

I have one problem. How can I make it so that I can tell which calendar entry is new to the Department Calendar. Currently I receive a message that informs me that a new schedule has been added to the calendar, however when I click on the message the calendar is automatically updates and I could not see what the new entry was.

The problem is that I have over 100 entries and it is impossible to tell when a new entry is made.

Does anyone know how to make the new entry to the Department Calendar different than the pervious entries?


Thanks in advance.

Probably what I would do is change the VIEW to BY CATEGORY. And then right mouse click on any of the column field headers and select FIELD CHOOSER. Change to DATE\TIME FIELDS, click and drag the field CREATE DATE to your preferred position and then once positioned click on the header to sort by CREATE DATE. You will then see what was the last entry created.

When your done then you can switch back to your regular calendar view. joegz

That was a great HELP. One more question. I am very good a writing Macro's in Microsoft Word, however writing a macro in Outlook does not seam as simple. Can you let me know if it is possible to write a simple macro for the user to be able to just click one button to preform the tast that you have given me above?

Sure hope you can help me out with this one.

Unfortunately I am not proficient in writing macros so I really am not the best person to answer your latter question.

Hopefully someone else can contribute to answer your question. joegz
