Share a taks with multiple persons ?

[Rachid]

At my small company we try to work projects using Outlook task.
However, we can not seem to work with multiple people on one task.

I'd like to have multiple people modifying the same task.

Do you know this is possible ?

Do you use Exchange server? If so, create a public folder for tasks and
grant the users permissions to use it....you can't assign tasks in the
public folder, but everyone can access the tasks and modify them/complete
them that way.

If you have Exchange, make a shared mailbox and you can Assign Tasks from
it to any users. The tracking of % complete works nicely this way.

Outlook is tied to the Owner doing the work - make copies of a Task and
have each person update their % complete if you need to micromanage.

Dear Rachid,

if you don´t use Exchange have a look on this site for some sharing
solutions as alternative to Exchange.

On this site is an article on various ways to share Outlook data:
