Notes Field - Using Functions

[srm]

I'm using Outlook 2003. In the Notes field, I tried using the followng

Format(Date(),"mmmm dd, yyyy")

and it did not reflect the date. Do Functions work in notes? If note,
is there anyway to reflect a date other than typing it in manually?
I'd like to have it reflect the current date so when I create a new
contact, I have default text entered in the notes with the correct
date.

Thanks

Shawn

The notes field (Body) won't execute functions. Anything you put there is
just text. If you want to create a time/date stamp then you need a macro to
add that to the existing Body of the item.

Search at www.outlookcode.com for "time stamp" to see sample code.
