Is there a way to determine:

a. Who created an appointment in a public folder (Calendar)?
b. Who most recently updated such?

I see that the properties of the item show when it was modified, but I would
like to find out original creation date as well as original/last user who
created/modified the entry.

TIA.

For this, display the calendar in a table view and use Field Choose to drag
the Organizer field to the header line.

> b. Who most recently updated such?

I don't think Outlook (or Exchange) keeps track of that information.

Thanks. That helps.

I guess I can just test this, but do you know if changes both the Modified
date/time and the Organizer if another user changes it?

The question arose with respect to a corporate shared calendar for a client
of mine: "he hasn't had that vacation scheduled since June" vs. "yes, he did"
(my part was to deduce who actually entered it and when).

The Modified date should change, but I don't believe the Organizer will.
