G'day all

I am just wondering why outlook 2002 is not letting me to sort/group by a userdefined field
Basically I thought if I have a field that has only date (no time), then I could group all my mai
on per day basis and there is a very very least chance of missing even a mail

Hence I created a user-defined date type with only date (I'd use day(received) function), and
but when I tried to group it via this fields, I did not get this field in the dropdown box.

I believe this should be possible, can anyone please guide me to do this

Thanks in advanc
Rammy
 
Outlook does not allow sorting or grouping by formula fields. This is a
known limitation.

FWIW, Outlook's date/time field always holds both date and time data,
regardless of what the display might look like.

The only way to do this would be to use VBA code to put the date, without
the time element, into a custom field as each item arrives. You can use the
MAPIFolder.ItemAdd event for this.
