Outlook won't let me do this, certainly there must be a way.
I'm a developer and I have a consultant that assigns me tasks like bug
fixes through Outlook's (2003) tasks folder. She assigns me a task
and she gets updates when I change or complete the task. That works.
What I want to do is create a task for myself that she will be
notified of. If I create a task in my Tasks folder I can't assign it
to myself. I also can't include her in the notify list. It's always
greyed.
So we tried creating a Group with the two of us as members. If I send
a task to the group we both get the task in our inboxes. If I try to
accept or decline the task, it won't let me because I created it.
That's kind of stupid because if I can't accept or decline the task, I
shouldn't be offered it in the first place.
Is there any way of getting Outlook's tasks to function this way? I'd
like to create a task for myself and have that task send updates to
the user(s) I specify automatically like a normal task assigned to me
by someone else.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
