    How might I insert a date into the “notes” section in Outlook 2000. I am speaking here of the standard form.

      I might be confused, but the Date and Time displays for Notes are toggled by going to Tools>Options pick the Other tab and then Advanced Options.
      You can put a check mark next to “When viewing Notes. show time and date.”
      Please let us know if you’re trying to insert the date elswhere. I don’t think there’s a way, in other locations, to insert a date other than to type it in

        Thanks, but I am not refering to the “notes” folder in Outlook. Rather, I mean the area in the contact form below the mailing address.

      I could suggest a way with Microsoft Visual Basic if that is what you are looking for.

        Anything that would work and is reasonably strightforward and simple to use is welcome. I am surpirsed that MS didn’t include the capability in Outlook.

      Create a Word document just with the date – tick automatic update – in the form you need it.
      Then you can insert this document into the notes section of the contact form: open the contact go to the notes section and use
      insert/object/create from file

      In a new form, select the tools menu | forms | design this form…
      Then from the view menu | view code

      In the code window, enter the following code. When finished, open the control toolbox and drag a command button to the form. Rename it by right clicking on it and selecting Properties. In the caption field, type in the desired name.

      Sub StampDate()
      Item.Body = Now() & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Item.Body
      End Sub

      Sub CommandButton1_Click()
      Call StampDate()
      End Sub

      You can visit http://www.slipstick.com for some good add-ins and utilities to do all sorts of things with outlook. Its one of the best sites out there. You can also download a contact template for outlook that already has the code for the date stamp included at http://www.poremsky.com/DateStamp.htm
