OUtlook 2003 help

[Wigwam]

i basically use the calender in outlook 2003 to keep tabs on life - on calls, appts etc etc.
what i would like to do is be able to set up a simple weekly- recurring form to keep tabs on certain things:
for example i need to keep a log of how many nuclear medicine sessions i attended in a particular week. How can i set the calender up so that i get the entry "number of NM sessions attended" and then be able to simply insert the number for that particular week?

I would have thought a simple recurring appointment wouldnt work since if i insert the number in 1 week it will recur in all the others.

thanks for help!

You seriously need to learn some patience.

And no, I don't know.

Have you tried a recurring task? It has a notes section that you might use for this.

aha now this is exactly what i am after - i didnt realise the recurring tasks had a notes section.

if i add a note in 1 will all the other be changed to the same or can i add a separate note for each recurrence?

If you add a note, it will show up in all the recurrences.

see that is the problem: i want to be able to have a recurring "something which is shown on [say] every monday for 6 months and says:
Number of sessions this week =

i would then like to be able to fill in the blanks every week and hence be able to keep a log

What if you added a line to the notes section on each recurrence, on the order of "week ended xx/xx/xx: # of sessions"? That would give you a list of weeks with numbers, for later reference. You'd eventually want to clear it out/copy it to another location when it got too big, but it would take a while, and keep things simple in between. This would work with a calendar appointment or a task, whichever you want to use.
