I'm wanting to add my work annual leave to Outlook and auto sum, so I know
how much holiday I've up so far. I'm currently adding it in as an Appointment
called A/L, then I search for text A/L. My results search has the following
fields:
*Subject (A/L)
*Start & End (date and time) (usually start at 8:30 and ends to achieve the
right number of hours
*Duration (in hours)
I'm after a way to sum up the all 'durations' in this Find result.
Or just an easier way to record, search for a sum up annual leave in
Outlook...
Any ideas?
I'm using Outlook 2000 and 2003

Copy and paste the display to Excel and do the math there.

So no function for this at all in Outlook? Not even creating your own
rules/macros/functions? Hard to believe it's not there....

You would need to write your own VBA macro to iterate all the items in the folder that meet your search criteria and generate a running total. VBA basics start at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vbabasics.htm. If you get stuck, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public
.outlook.program_vba
