MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2006Public Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks
Hi all. I've created a public folder that contains all of my contact information as well as a calendar and task list. My question is, is how do I set it up so that when a create a new task request for a contact, it will post in the public task list? I've already associated the public task list on the activities tab for the contact folder, but the tasks keep getting posted to my own personal task list, unshared. Thanks in advance for your reply. Tasks and activities will always post to your default folders, not public folders.  SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Use File | Move to Folder instead of Save and Close to designate where those items should be saved.

I already figured this part out, however, I would like to be able to set a default task, calendar and journal folder for every public contact folder. That way the user doesn't have to go through this... Maybe I can script this behavior and set it in a custom form that I can associate with a public folder?

But if you went that route you'd need at least 4 custom forms -- contact, appointment, task and journal. Another approach would be to provide buttons on the contact form surface to create new items in the desired folders using the MAPIFolder.Items.Add method on each target folder.
