Hi,all

Could someone help with the following:-

Can a task sent via outlook, be set-up in such away that should an assignee
delete it, the sender gets notification? If so how.
I will be calling the task via Access (VBA)

Thank you for any help

Unless you're running code on the receiving computer you can't control what
comes back to you in code obviously. If you set the properties on a task
request to be notified of task completion and to keep an updated copy of the
task then you should be automatically notified if the task recipient accepts
the task and then deletes it before it's marked as complete.

Thank you for a swift reply.
As I am new to tasks I am trying to understand if I can send a task to a
person thinking they will be working on it, only to find at a later date
they deleted it as soon as they received it.

If you send them a task request they can accept or reject it. If rejected
you get a notice and what they do afterwards is up to them, you get nothing.
If they accept it and you have those properties set then if they delete it
you will be notified, unless possibly they delete it after marking it as
complete. Then you might not get notice, I don't recall offhand how that
scenario would work.
