Is Synchronizing Tasks and Calendar Events Possible?

Hi,
I am using Outlook 2003 and am surprised that I am not able to link my Tasks
to my Calendar and vice versa. For example, I drag a Task into my Calendar
because I plan on working on it and want it scheduled when I look at my
Calendar. Say I have a meeting about the Task at the scheduled time and write
notes, add attachments, etc in the blank field of the Calendar Event. Then
when I go back to my Tasks a day or so later, and click on the item, none of
my notes have been transferred from my Calendar to my Tasks.
I thought they would be connected since I originally dragged the item from
my Tasks to my Calendar. Can someone please advise if it is possible to have
these two things synchronized? It would be extremely helpful!
Thank you for your time, it is much appreciated!

Tasks and calendar entries can't be linked as you describe.  However, you
can keep track of time you spend on tasks in the task form itself.
Moreover, you can make notes in the task form itself.
