Assigning a task in Outlook from Project

[Billy]

Hi,
I have experimented with the code offered above and it works well. I
would like to perform this transfer to outlook tasks only on selected
items though. I have accomplished this, but I wanted to go one step
further and send this to any people who were mentioned my Microsoft
Project's Resource name field. The problem comes in attempting to
invoke the "assign task" and input the people's names in the TO
field. It seems like the task has transitioned into an e-mail and
currently there is no

Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem or other code.

Can anyone suggest what additional changes might be needed in order to
assign tasks in the mail and then send the mail?

Hi,

I have had some success <ith the mailsend function:

MailSend Method
See AlsoApplies ToExampleSpecifics

Sends a mail message.

message, separated by commas.

message, separated by commas.

multiple file names. Do not add space between the list separator and the

IncludeDocument Optional Boolean. True if the active project is included
in the message. The default value is True.

ReturnReceipt Optional Boolean. True if a message is sent to the sender
when the recipient opens the message. The default value is False.

Bcc Optional String. The user names of the message recipients which are
not displayed, separated by semicolons. This argument is only supported in
Microsoft Project for the Macintosh version 4.0.

Urgent Optional Boolean. True if the message is given a high priority.
This argument is only supported in Microsoft Project for the Macintosh

Remarks
If the MailSend method is used without specifying any arguments and there
are no existing routing slips, a standard compose mail window appears with
the active project as an embedded object. Otherwise, using the MailSend
method without specifying any arguments prompts whether or not to use the
routing slip.
