Just a thought...

Using Outlook Search Folders to find items before a certain date/time relative to today.

Tim has previously posted and article on Outlook 2003 Search Folders.  The only thing that we couldn't figure out is how to show all items of interest before a certain time or date, relative to today.  Apparently the Advanced dialog has some weird natural language syntax for time received.  I haven't been able to find a conclusive reference anywhere in the help or Microsoft documentation online.  Any direction would be appreciated.  However I was able to type in something like the following in the value field for the condition "on or before" to get it to work.

12:00 am 7 days ago
12:00 am 30 days ago

I am sure things like years, months would also work.
