Weird Outlook 2003 View Request from a client

[PhoenixTekBC]

I have a client who would like the following:

Is it possible to rearrange the way my inbox works so that emails are earliest to latest within a day. In other words, I don't want my oldest emails (like last week's) on top, I want today's on top, but within today's, I'd like earlier on top of later. That way, if you have a series of emails, you'd see the first ones first.

Any ideas?

In the inbox headers list I believe you can click the column labels ("Date Received", "Sender", etc), so if you click the "Date Received" column label it should alter the order of the headers. I'm referring to Outlook 2000 here as it's what I use, but I guess your version must be similar. When you change the date order it should stay that way till you change it again.

I am not sure you can do that without a little programing. If you cannot make the changes in the view - arrange by then it may require a little vbs but I am not that familiar with that

Outlook's VBA is crapola. This is way beyond its capabilities. This task requires a COM plugin. You might also like to try creating a folder for 'Today', and see if you can get a rule or two setup to shift emails between that and the Inbox, but I don't know how you'd do that as the only rule concerning Received Date only accepts a permanent date, not a variable like "Today" or "older than today". Far as I know it's not possible to create/alter/emulate rules using macros either.
