Default Creating a Task with VBScript

Sorry Sue, that was ocurring when I run the code in a VBA project.

My code looks like this:

Set myTask= Application.CreateItem(3)
myTask.Subject = "Subject"
myTask.DueDate = #17/09/2009#
myTask.Save

Item.Save

Set colLinks = myTask.Links
Set oLinks = colLinks.Add(Item)

Now the Add function isn´t the problem. I checked the colLinks count and the
add is happening, but I never see the task in the Activities tab.

Thanks.

The Activities tab does an on-demand search each time you use it, which can
be quite slow, depending on how many folders are included in the selected
activity group. Maybe you just need to wait longer for the search to
complete.

Thanks Sue, that works.

But know I had 2 problems. The task doesn´t appear in the Activities tab
like I expected, instead appears my custom form as a contact element.

The other problem is that the elements in Activities tab sometimes appears
sometimes not. Why is that? I use Outlook 2007.

Regards

Here's another idea: Try saving the item before you call Links.Add

Same error. I don´t know what is the problem, because the Item is like
Item.Contact.MyForm, that should work.

Thanks again.

Item should work if the item is a contact item. Form code is VBScript,
so
it
only has Variant objects and you can't create a ContactItem reference.

Does it work if you use it as a function:

Set colLinks = myTask.Links
Set oLink = colLinks.Add(Item)

I get the error when I call: colLinks.Add(Item)

Thanks I was traying to do the opposite.

But my new code doesn´t seems to work neither.

Set myTask = Application.CreateItem(3)
myTask.Subject = "..."
myTask.DueDate #17/08/09#

myTask.Save

Set colLinks = myTask.Links
colLinks.Add(Item)

How I get the current form as a ContactItem is not enough with
Item?

Regards.

The task won't appear on the contact's Activities page until you save the
task.

Which activities list are you looking at -- All Items? Upcoming
Tasks/Appointments? Are you watching until the animation on the right side
of the window stops?

Do you save the item again after adding to the Links collection?
