This works a treat. I saw the original but I like what you've done with it.

This is now on my toolbar :o)

Although, I must admit I removed "olItem.Delete" as I prefer to keep the original mails ;o)

I have to ask, what is wrong with drag and drop?

Drag e-mail to tasks, task opens click the reminder check box, click (and hold) on the down arrow for the time and keep holding the button down below the bottom of the dropdown time list list untill it scrolls to the time you want, slide mouse to highlight let go and click save and close. Push your delete key to delete the e-mail. That takes less that 3 seconds.

I supose if you really want the cool macro button that's ok but drag and drop is easy too.

By the way the junk mail filter on Outlook 2003 Rocks. The team that came up with it ought to get a big promotion. I spent about 4-5 days using Outlook and marking what I didn't want. I seldom receive an junk e-mail now. Good Job

Oh and while I'm at it hiding the graphics in the messages untill you want to show them is an awesome feature too.

Peter: I haven't tried it out, but I suspect something like this would work:

Replace this:

olTask.Attachments.Add olItem

With:

olTask.body = oltask.body & vbcrlf & olitem.body

Thank you for you last comment that worked fine i was able to copy the emails body into an task easy enough using that but i would i would like to copy the attachments over too in the same position that it was placed.
I had tryied this code which copys the attacment and then adds it to the task supposed to be in the same position but it seems it comes out completly random placement left or right to where its supposed to be

OlOrig.Attachments.Item(i).SaveAsFile "C:\" & OlOrig.Attachments.Item(i).DisplayName
objattachments.Add "C:\" & OlOrig.Attachments.Item(i).DisplayName, , OlOrig.Attachments.Item(i).position
Kill ("C:\" & OlOrig.Attachments.Item(i).DisplayName)

If you could help just to copy over these attachments in the correct place i would be very happy thank you

I don't have any expertise in what determines the insertion point of the attachment, sorry.

Create a task programatically in server-side

Hi,

I am Narayanan Sankararanarayanan.

We have a web-based application that has reminders for users.
These reminders popup as long as they are in the web-based application. We have Outlook as our corporate email client.
We want these reminders to be part of outlook/exchange.

Here is my question: How will you create a task for somebody? It should look like that person by him/herself has created the task.

Thanks

Narayanan Sankararanarayanan
