I'm a bit confused on the AppointmentItem.Start because when I insert this in
it gives me an object must be defined error and I cannot find or place an
object that goes there. I took your advice and I think that c is the best
choice for the user but can we do a function or event that when she inputs a
task it automatically goes to the Calendar? Thanks for your help.
