Re: Solution to flags problem outside inbox for me, add-in to somehow activate tasks generated from messages?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Since the code sample is designed for the sole purpose of creating new tasks from the information in email messages, I guess the answer would be Yes.

However, Outlook 2000 does not support the "run a script" rule action, so you'd have to write code to call the procedure in the sample from another procedure that specifies which item to process.

Will this help with converting email messages to tasks, though:

"Description: This revised version of an earlier sample shows how to
use the Namespace.GetItemFromID method in a "run a script" rule
procedure to avoid getting security prompts in Outlook 2003 when the
code accesses the Body property."

The description doesn't tell _me_ this is so.

p.s., sorry, should have mentioned. I have gone back to O2K as I'm
now back to my beloved, and less error-prone, less bug-ridden Win98SE.

This is something I've found that is standard Outlook behaviour (as
evidenced here many times), when we set up a rule for a message to be
put in the tasks folder, it is put there but not "activated" (or
whatever it's called). Is there a freeware add-in or freeware script
anyone knows about that will follow-up a rule and make
message-generated tasks into _real_ tasks that will then popup? That
would be one way to get around the flags outside the inbox. Any help
appreciated.
