Does anyone use "location" field in Outlook?

[George]

After all these years, I just noticed when I go to make an appointment in
Outlook (2003version, with BCM), that there's a second field after "subject"
which would seem to be the one everbody mostly uses. The appointment fields
are:

1. SUBJECT: (example: "Conference call with Joe and Mary)

2. LOCATION: (does anyone use this?) Is the idea to put something like
"Annapolis, MD" meaning maybe a meeting there or something?

I know it's a hokey question, but wondered about some examples of how other
people are using it.

Thanks,
G

Standard following use that I have seen.

Subject = Topic of your appointment or the meeting

Location = Where is the appointment or meeting.

This is used in our org to put what conference room the meeting is in.

I use it all the time - put in where the meeting will be. "My Office" or
"9th Floor Conference room" or "1234 Pleasant Lane, #567" for example.
The location displays on the calendar, conveniently, as well as being easy
to see on my PDA.

Very handy.

How set up pull down list for Location?

The pull down list for "location" seems to only store the last few entries. How do I create a list of locations to re-use? I have several customer addresses and call bridges that get re-used.
Thoughts?
