Show date of activity in Contacts?
 

When I view Activities for a Contact, the only dates shown are the
dates they were created, shown under Sent and Received, not when they
occured or are scheduled. Is there any way to show the date of the
activity and sort by it? I've tried adding "Due By" to the fields but
it shows "None" even when there are due dates. Thanks.

THere is no one date field that works for all types of activity items. You'd have to use different fields for appointments, tasks, and journal entries. And you'd have to repeat the process every time you display the Activities page on a contact. Not worth the trouble, in my book.

Thanks. Is there a way using Business Contact Manager?

It uses a different mechanism for tracking activities. You'll have to try it to decide whether you like it better.
