Hi, I had thought to have a public folder so that everyone
in the team can see all the assigned tasks and the updated
information.

Problem is that we seem to be able to only forward a task
to another person. Which is quite different to assigning a
task to another person.

Is it possible to assign a public folder task and for that
task to be updatable? As this how it is with personal
tasks. Or, is this something that I can customise?

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated :-)

Cheers
Jonathan

No, only tasks in your default Tasks folder can be assigned.

I have the same problem but have added a field from the Mail Fields TO to
the customised task form.
Does anyone have a script that I can add to the onclose function of the form
that will email the task to the recipient.

Thanks
Raphy

Thanks for the idea Raphy,

use the write event with something like the following...
'     standard email message...
    set objMessage= Application.CreateItem(0)
    with objMessage
        .to ="jonathan@someplace.co.nz"
        .subject = "test"
    end with
    objMessage.send

luck
Jonathan
