MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Can I change the default settings for the Status field in Tasks
Is there a way to change the options in the Status field in Tasks? For example, I'd like to add "Pending" and other custom text. Thanks.  SignatureSandee No, not possible. Isn't pending (in your cse) not either "Waiting on someone else" or "Not yet started"?

Alright, well a posible reason for this not being possible is that when you use your own wording it wouldn't be compatible with (other mail) clients when sharing tasks. It would only add to the confusion of what is meant by a certain status.

If I am not using the "Task" with other client, it's only a personal task (to-do list), is it possible that I can use some kind of VBA programming to add customize status to task? > Alright, well a posible reason for this not being possible is that when you > use your own wording it wouldn't be compatible with (other mail) clients [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Is there a way to change the options in the Status field in Tasks?
