I used code to create an Outlook task from Access...

Creating a task manually in Outlook shows a tick box, date field, etc
but a task
created using this code does not seem to have those controls. The
whole task form looks pretty different so I am guessing there is
something else that needs to be done to show it like a 'normal' task
form.

My code in Access

Public Function AssignTask()
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myItem As Outlook.Outlook.TaskRequestItem
Dim myDelegate As Outlook.Recipient
'Information from subform
Dim strReciprient As String, strResponsibleParty As String 'These are
the same person
Dim strProject As String 'ActionDescription
Dim strFacility As String
Dim strFrequency As String
Dim strDueDate As String
Dim frm As Form
Dim sfN As Form 'Program Notification SubForm

Set frm = Forms!frmMainEntry.Form
Set sfN = frm.[fctlNotifications].Form
If sfN.[ProgramID] = sfN.[txtID] Then

strProject = sfN.ProgramDescription
strFacility = sfN.Facility
strDueDate = sfN.DueDate
strFrequency = sfN.FrequencyOfService
strReciprient = sfN.EmailAddress
strResponsibleParty = sfN.ResponsibleParty
strSender = frm!txtWelcome
Else
Exit Function
End If

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)

myItem.Assign
Set myDelegate = myItem.Recipients.Add(strReciprient)
myDelegate.Resolve
If myDelegate.Resolved Then
myItem.Subject = "Notification Of Compliance Requirement"
myItem.Body = vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"To: " & strResponsibleParty & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"This is to notify you that the requirement for " & strProject & " at
the " & _
strFacility & " is due on " & strDueDate & "." & vbCrLf & _
strProject & " is required " & strFrequency & "." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf &
vbCrLf & _
"Keep On Track With Safety" & vbCrLf & strSender
myItem.DueDate = strDueDate
myItem.ReminderTime = DateAdd("ww", -1, strDueDate) 'Remind 1 Week
before Due Date.
'myItem.Display
myItem.Importance = (olImportanceHigh)
myItem.Send
End If
End Function

Any and all help greatly appreciated

Posted wrong code in previous upload...

Bere is the correct Access code to create Outlook Task:

Private Sub cmdSend_Click()
Dim NowDate As Date
Dim DateEnd As Date
Dim Task As Object

Set Task = Outlook.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
NowDate = Now()

Task.Subject = "WO#" & Me.[WOID] & " - " & Me.[ProjectName].Value
Task.Body = "Requester: " & Me.[Requestor] & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
" -------------------- " & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
Me.[Comment] & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
" -------------------- " & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
Me.[Filepath].Value
Task.Assign
Task.DueDate = Me.[DateDue].Value
Task.STARTDATE = Me.[DateDue].Value - 5
Task.ReminderSet = True

Task.Importance = (olImportanceHigh)

Task.Save

End Sub
