How can I automatically update the following dates every time I open my outlook template?
Subject: report for: <today’s date> in “mm/dd/yy” format
Body of e-mail:
…first I ran the report using: <yesterday’s date> “mm/dd/yy” format
…and I ran the report using: <today’s date> “mm/dd/yy” format
Thanks, OCM
Insert date/time method works fine for the current date in the body of the e-mail.
For the subject line, to add today’s date, I used the following method:
Select Design a Form from the Tools\Forms menu
In the Standard Forms Library Open the Message form.
Right-click on the Subject text input box and select Properties.
From the Properties dialogue box click on the Value tab and edit the initial value
as follows
‘my text ‘& Date()
1. The above worked fine, but it displays the date in mm-dd-yyyy format. I
would like this to be in mm-dd-yy format
2. For yesterday’s date (in the body of the e-mail) I tried Date ( )-1 and
Now ( )-1. These didn’t work.
As you mentioned this may be only accomplished by using macros.
