Frustrating little problem

HI, i have a little problem what is more frustrating then anything...
when in Outlook Mail (v.2003) when i do an Advanced Find in the Sent
Items folders the only way i can see who i sent the emails to (in the
results area) is by right clicking the mouse and picking FIELD
CHOOSER, scrolling down then dragging the TO field to the Advance Find
header.

Is there a way i can SAVE the TO field in this Advance Find screen
without having to add it each time?

Tks,
Steve
 
Is it possible to create VBA that I can assign to a button on the Advanced
Find toolbar that would add the TO fiield to the Advanced Find header? This
would be useful in other Advanced Find toolbars as well, e.g., I would love
to add the CATEGORIES and DUE BY fields after I do a Find Related Messages.

Thanks,
 
Note: I have found a work around using Actual Window Manager. This program
has the ability to run a keyboard macro upon start up of a window.

First I made the "Show Fields..." menu item appear on the Advanced Find Menu
bar and made the "S" the active menu key by prefixing it with an "&" (and no
other Advanced Find Menu bar has a active menu key of "S"). Then in Actual
Window Manager, when the Advanced Find window pops up, I have it run the
following set of keystrokes after a 1 second delay:
<Alt+S><Tab><Tab>dd<Alt+a><Tab><Tab><Tab><Tab><Tab><Tab><Tab><Tab><Tab>c<Alt+a><Enter>

The "dd" above selects the Due By field and the "c" selects the Category
field. All the tabs are necessary to wrap the selection around back to the
fields. It is still not perfect since it doesn't always show these fields on
the first try. I suspect it I need to tweak the delay or perhaps the tabs...
but it is much better than nothing.

FYI,
