Can you edit the date of creation of a note in Outlook?

I'm a former palmOS user and would like to migrate all my memos from Natara Daynotez (http://www.natara.com/DayNotez/index.cfm) to my PocketPC (Daynotez use a different database than palmOS factory memos).

Anyhow...I'm copying every single memo at a time to Outlook's notes, and I'm noticing that you cannot modify the date of creation (hence notes I made years ago appear as made today).

Could anyone recommend a solution to this? I'd like to keep my notes in Outlook showing the same date when I actually created them.

Thanks in advance for your input!
Micho.

Micho.Use a file explorer like Total Commander. The desktop version costs money. PPC version is free.
The steps for this would be:

Sync to device.
Open the note's properties in TC and modify.
Delete the originals, sync with new "dated" notes.

Or simply simpler.....rename them on the PC incorporating the date. This way is not so good but will help you keep track....e.g. talk_with_Ben_23_08_05
