MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / January 2004Regarding sort/group by user-defined fields
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.

Basically I need to group all mails that was send on per day basis. 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.
