Can you backdate an item on the outlook calendar.

Someone is saying they had a meeting (when it didn’t take place) and the proof is that they have an entry on outlook calendar.

I was going to ask for evidence of it, but if you can backdate an entry then there is really no point. Unless there is a way of finding out when the entry was first made.

Yes, you can backdate as far as I recall. Sorry, not at work yet to check on my Outlook, but can you look at the properties of the meeting invite to see when it was created? Alternatively if others were invited to the meeting they would have received an emailed meeting invite on the date of creation.

yes you can backdate it

If it was a meeting held by someone else that they were invited to, ask to see the email invite.

There used to be a 'date created' somewhere either in the meeting request or on the server side. Can't quite remember but will look when I get to work. Disclaimer I'm an ex Exchange administrator but an old version that's why I say used to be.

Open the appointment then go into 'design form' then you can chose to show the date created field.

"If it was a meeting held by someone else that they were invited to, ask to see the email invite."

I think it's often automatically deleted once the guest clicks yes/no.

Brilliant. Thanks 🙂🙂

If was more of an informal meeting.

Timings are off because they apparently had this meeting at a certain time and then they were somewhere else a few hours later more than 100 miles away. We know the meeting didn’t happen (because my dh wasn’t there) but they are saying it did and the only proof is an entry on outlook which would have been created after the even after this all kicked off.
