Note In Outlook 2000 only, the procedures in this article apply if you have installed Outlook 2000 with the Corporate or Workgroup option. With this option, you can use Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) services. To determine your installation type, click About Microsoft Outlook on the Help menu. If you have the Corporate or Workgroup installation, you see "Corporate or Workgroup."



SUMMARY
When you run Outlook and use Microsoft Exchange Server as your e-mail server, you can share folders on the server with other users on your network. If you share your Calendar by giving owner permissions to several users, and the users create appointments in your calendar, you cannot easily tell who created the appointment, or when it was created.

This article explains how to add fields to your view so that you can determine the meeting organizer and meeting creation date.
