VBScripting with Outlook Task ID
Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for posting, couldn't find a vbscripting forum for outlook. Anyway, here goes with my problem. I have some vbscript which creates a task in outlook from my database program. Const olTaskItem = 3 Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set objTask = objOutlook.CreateItem(olTaskItem) objTask.Subject = "Schedul a Task" objTask.Body = "Blah blah blah." objTask.ReminderSet = True objTask.ReminderTime = #27/01/2010 12:00 PM# objTask.DueDate = #27/01/2010 12:00 PM# objTask.ReminderPlaySound = True objTask.ReminderSoundFile = "C:\Windows\Media\Ding.wav" objTask.Save The code above creates a task fine in my system. However what I would like is some script to retrieve the unique outlook id of the task created and save the details in a text file which I can script an import and parse the data through into my database. Any help would be much appreciated - Kind regards

VBScripting with Outlook Task ID
After you call objTask.Save, return objTask.EntryID and save it to a field
in the database record. You can then use that value later with the Namespace.GetItemFromID method to retrieve the item. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Jalz" wrote in message ...
