Greetings - This is my first post to this group. I have never dealt at
all with customizing Outlook... always been an ASP and ASP.NET (VB.NET)
developer for web based applications.

But, I have a client who wants to simplfy a process in Outlook 2003.
Outlook let's you customize the calendar events that you view. Here's
what they are doing:

View Arrange By Current View Customize View

Then, in the dialog box:

Filter Advanced Field All Appointment Fields Category

Then, in the form, enter the desired value by with they want to filter
their view.

As you can see, it's a long process. They have asked me to come up
with a way to shorten it. Even if I could could create a keystroke
that would bring them right to the final screen/form, that would help a
ton. But ideally, I would like to provide a form field on the tool
bar, and when populated, would filter the view accordingly.

Please keep in mind that I currently know NOTHING about building
macro's in Outlook. Any help, hints, and points to tutorials would be
fantastic.

Thanks,

Casey
