Default Date in Task

I would like the date of the day to be insert automaticly each time I update
a task. So, if I put an action on the 13, I would like to date to be added
when I save the task, if I put another action on the 15, I would the date to
be saved as well so that I can keep a better tracking for follow-up, I will
then be able to see the date that an action was done on a task.

But add the date where? A task item has many different date fields.

Default Date in Task

Sorry Sue, I'll try to be more specific..

The date can be save anywhere, I would like to add that field in the Task
Panel, so when I add an action in a task, the date will be inserted when I
save that task, so, if I send a status of the task, we will see when an
action have been added.

Presently, if I have a task, and I put some details in it and save it, the
date will not be inserted automaticly, so if I put an action each day in a
task, I would like to able to know when the action was perform in the task, I
would that in all my tasks

Thanks for your patience with my english...

Default Date in Task

Now we're getting somewhere, but you have to remember we can't look over your shoulder.

Does "that field" mean you want to add a date in a custom field? Such a custom field would not be transmitted back as part of any status report to the task owner.

What do you mean by "the Task Panel"?

It's also not clear what the date information you have in mind would offer that the existing Modified date field doesn't.

Default Date in Task

When I open a new task, I have 2 panel, the first one is the Task Panel in
wich I have the date of the creation, the Reminder date etc... (but no Last
Modifed date) the other panel is the details panel.

In the Task Panel I have a Creation Date, a Due Date, a Start Date and a
reminder date.

Lets see the question like this, Is there a way to add another filed (custom
I guess...) where I can get the date of the day added each time I work on a
task when a save it, so If I update the task the 13 the 17 and the 21, I can
see it somewhere the date that I've put some action/informations in it?

Thanks for your help

Thanks for explaining more thoroughly! Those are called "pages." The built-in pages of a task form cannot be customized. You can, however, customize a task form to show additional pages. See:

http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms.htm
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/taskform.htm
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/newdefaultform.htm

Lets see the question like this, Is there a way to add another filed (custom

Outlook already does that. You can see the Modified date in the view of your tasks folder. If you want to see it on an individual task, a custom form is one solution.

Another thought: Do you use the Billing Information and Mileage fields on the Details page? If not, it would be simple to use VBA code to put the date that an item was changed into one of those fields automatically. Let us know if that sounds useful.
