Default Creating a Task with VBScript

Regards.

Hi I´m trying to create a task in a custom Contact form in Outlook. I would
like that the task appears in the Activities tab, but I only get to create
the task in the session, can´t associate with the current contact form.

How I can do that?

I was trying to link the Task Item with the contact form bu that don´t seems
to work.

Thanks for your help.

You need the contact as a ContactItem. Then get the Links collection of the
new task item and add that ContactItem to the Links collection of the task
using the Links.Add method.

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.

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)

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

Thanks again.
