Linking Outlook Contacts to Tasks

J

John

I have the following situation in Outlook 2000

In my public folders, I have two folders (of interest)
"Shared Contacts" and "Shared Tasks"
When I have a shared contact open, I want to associate a
task with that contact. If I use the Drop down to assign
a new task to this contact, the task gets created in my
personal outlook folder "Tasks". I then have to drag it
from that folder to the "Shared Tasks" folder. What I
really want is to associate the two "shared" folders so it
would be more automatic. I am perfectly willing to use a
macro, but I am not sure what would work. (It would be
fine if the macro simply dumped all "tasks" into "shared
tasks"
Ideally such a macro would "Save and Exit" the task window
and then do the move.

I am comfortable with VBA, but have not used it to drive
Outlook.

Thanks for any help.
