TaskRequestUpdateItem - Can you create and send one?

Just update the task and it will be created automatically. Other than that I
don't know of a way to do it.
 
Thanks for the reply ken. I'm not quite sure want you mean (that could
be because my post was a little ambigous). I would like to create a
TaskRequestUpdateItem in VB from a already created task and then send it
to another user which then another VBA will update it accordingly. The
reason why I would like to do this is to create sub folders under the
default task folder which then tasks under these folders can be assigned
and then updated from another user (and as you know outlook only allows
updates if the task resides in the default folder). This functionality
is much like extending reminders plugins.

Thanks for any help.
 
As far as I know you cannot do that. You can only force creation of a
TaskRequestUpdateItem by updating the relevant task and then Outlook will
create the TaskRequestUpdateItem. I don't know of a way to do it using code
of any kind.
 
Thanks for the info Ken.

Just wondering (trying to work around). I know I can assign and send
a task programmatically but can you send a task via email without
assigning it? Or would you have to create a MailItem and attached the
Task? Thanks for all your help.

PS: I ordered your book yesterday along with Sue Mosher's out of
respect for how many posts you guys answer

Thanks again
 
You would have to create a mail item and attach the task to it. Otherwise
you'd have to use code to assign the task.

My ABG book isn't a programming book, BTW. It's a user book that is supposed
to compete on the Dummies books. My programming books are all out of print
:(
