Task information

[Guest]

I would like my contact information to show up in the task columns when I
create a task specific to a contact. How do I do this. I am a recent ACT
user who found that scheduling tasks from a master list of contacts was very
easy. I would like to do the same with Outlook

Any folder view shows only the data in that folder, even though Outlook lets you think otherwise by allowing you to add fields from different types of items in the folder. The contact informaiton is in the Contacts folder, so it doesn't appear in the TAsks folder. You can accomplish what you want, however, with a little custom VBA code. For an example, see http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=566
