Using outlook2000 with SP-3 (9.0.0.6627)

I find the only way to mark a task as unread is to do it manaly. If I open a
new task (or even enter it in "click here to add a new Task" it is not marked
as a unread task, even it I had gone to edit-Mark as Unread while makeing
that task, it still dosn't work. and even OsaSync's "Mark task imported ...
as unread" dos not mark them as unread.

How do we fix this.

Since you created it, it's obviously not unread since you needed to read it
to create it, didn't you?

even it I had gone to edit-Mark
as Unread while makeing that task, it still dosn't work. and even
OsaSync's "Mark task imported ... as unread" dos not mark them as
unread.

The only items for which "unread" actually has any meaning are mail items.

Thank you for a very fast reponce.

If you are saying that it was never dezined to that, then that's Unforchnet.
I am use to looking over at the folder list and seeing what new mail I have
becouse its bold and the quanity before I have to read it, and I noteced that
the tasks mared as unread do the same thing. so TO Implet the unread flag to
the Tasks that are asined to me over a network would make a big, big, big
difrents in getting those tasks dun.

So, if you are saying that there is no bild in way to get any new tasks
marked unread, then can you help me with a visal basic selution. stuch as can
you help me find the falowing comands:

1) A Comand for marking an item as unread (i.e. talk.read=0 or
rang(a1:b1).unread)
2) the sub ruteen for checking when a new task is added or when ever
anything new happens (sub on_event . . . End sub)
3) Segest a location in outlook to permently store the info my rutten will
need that it can read back when outlook is restared such as a note or an aray
with out having to access the disk everytime. and what comand systax is.

I'm shore I need more but I wont realize it untill I start writing.

Again thanks for a fast reponce, and I hope this is not too much of a tall
order.

I have no idea how is was designed. I wasn't there. I do, however, know
how it works for me.
