Outlook Task Priority
The enumeration for that property is fixed. If you want numerical priority,you'll need to create a custom property.

Outlook Task Priority
I have been missing the 5 levels of Priority offered by Palm software -
although I don't miss the poor Palm customer service. Anyway, I have figured out how to add the Custom Priority field to my Task/To-Do List, but I have not yet been able to figure out how/where to enter the value for a new task. The field "Custom Priority" is showing in the list view, but when I open an individual task for editing, I do not see it anywhere to add or change the value. Can someone tell me how to do that? Thanks bunches!! "Ken" wrote: I created a new field and used your advice to add a custom property to the field. A1, A2, A3, B1....

Outlook Task Priority
Three options:
1) Add the field to a table view that has in-cell editing turned on, and type in the value for each task. 2) Create a custom task form with an extra page containing a combo box with the choices you want to show. 3) Write VBA code macro that uses a combo box on the toolbar to display the current selection and allow the user to change it. prompts the user for a #1 sounds like what you're already doing. #2 is relatively simple; start at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=35. #3 is much more involved. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "kh" wrote in message ...

Can you tell me how to turn on in-cell editing? I'm afraid options 2 and 3 are beyond my level of expertise...

Outlook Task Priority
Okay, I checked and I have Allow In-Cell Editing checked
but it still isn't allowing me to enter anything. I can click in the field in the table view (and can see the blinking cursor in the field), but when I press a key for a number (or a letter) it dings at me and won't enter the character.
