Hello,
I have task that are linked back to contacts by the contact field at the bottom right corner of the task entry form. The problem is when I am in the task view screen and try to add any field from the contact screen like company name,contact phone number using the field chooser. It drops the field on the view but never has any data in it. Is there a way to do this?

Outlook 2003
Windows XP Pro

Thanks,

Those fields aren't available on Tasks. Just because you link a contact to a
task, it doesn't mean the rest of the contact fields are linked to the task
or visible in the task folder.
