Yes, that takes a macro. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/stampdate.htm

I'm using Outlook 2003 as a CRM-program.
Every time I have contacted a client or a prospect, I write down the date
and a few words in the details field.
I want to be able to use a shortcut key to place the (system)date in the
details field automatically. Do I have to create a macro to do that and what
would it look like?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
