Hi,

I have been trying to get a Task field updated while the Task was
clicked as Completed.

I use tasks which recurrence every day. I wanted to update a User
defined field named "Updater" when the task got clicked as Completed.
This is however impossible because when I click the task as Completed
it disappears and the new one for one day later appears and gets the
focus. Only then the status of the task is checked and will always be
Completed = False of course.

Is there another way to point to this task being completed.

Not really, once a recurring task is marked complete the next one in the
series is generated. You'd have to update the field you want prior to
marking the task as complete if I understand what you want.
 
You are right all along, however I want to update this field
automatically and not by typing in.
So when I click completed the field "Updater" value will become:

gUserID & Date() so the guy who Completed the task and the date.

How else should this be done than by clicking the Completed checkbox?

Could you then trap the DueDate change.
So when a user changes the DueDate of a task the ItemChange will see
that someone changed the duedate?

You can use the Item.PropertyChange event to see when DueDate has changed.
I've never tried it but you might be able to trap Completed being changed
there too before the old recurring task is completed and a new one is
generated.
