hi guys..
i need some help....

is there a way to automatically save info in Microsoft Outlook TASKS using vb??

this is what im trying to do..the vb application will save customers birthdate in database..after saving it...will automatically save new TASK in Microsoft Outlook (to remind the user to greet the customer on his birthday)...is this possible???


tnx in advance

Yes.

Problem is how.


Now if you know how to do it manually do this first then see if there are corresponding objects which can be set to do it in code. I was going to suggest 'record macro' but outlook 2k here doesn't have it. If it does, use it and look at the code.

I am guessing that you need to set up a task to notify the user, so read up on the helpfiles sections on tasks.
