Weekly eTip – Who created my outlook calendar entry?

Question: How can I find out who created a calendar entry in Outlook?

Answer: If you open the calendar entry, look in the lower right of the window and you can see who last modified it. But if that is not the same person who created it, you may need to go to the list view and add a new field to the view. To do so:

  • In Outlook 2010, go to View > Change View and select List
  • Click the Add Columns icon and change the dropdown list to All Mail Fields (from frequently used fields) and select From, and click OK. You can move it or drag it to any column heading location. This column should remain in this view on that computer.
  • You’ll just have to remember to change your view to see the calendar page view (from View > Change View).
