Journal date & time does not update

[Cathy]

I have added a form in a Journal Folder. When I save the
form and create a new entry the date and time remain the
same as when the form was created. How do I get the
standard Journal Form to update? I am using Outlook 2000.
Thank you.

To make a new JournalItem default its start date/time to the current
date/time, try adding this code, the republishing the form:

Function Item_Open()
If Item.Size = 0 Then
Item.Start = Now()
End If
End FUnction

I added this code in the Script Editor and republished the
form and nothing changed. Is there something else Ineed to
do? Thank you for your assistance.

Did you increment the version number so that you can tell for certain
whether the newly published version of the form is loading? check Help |
About This Form. Does any code at all run on your custom form?

To test it, I saved the form as a new form and it did not
update. When I looked in to Script Editor the code is
there.

What do you mean by "save it as a new form"? Earlier you said you published
it. Please check the form version number on a new item that you create with
the form.

Yes, I made it Version 2. I checked to make sure the code
was in the Script Editor and it still came back with the
original date, January 15, 2004. the date I created the
original form. I tried creating a new form below and it
did the same. Thanks for your assistance.

I'm still confused. Did you try creating a new *item* with the form? (Item =
data record, form = template) Did yoiu check the Help | About This Form on
that item to confirm that it's version 2? Does any other code in the form
run?
