Thanks for the code. It gives the same message. This has to do something
with the shared nature of the task. I can delete a shared task via code if
i have the item selected in the window. For example I have a user PMO who
shares it's tasks and I'm on owner. If I select that task folder then I can
delete. It's when I'm referring to a shared task folder that is not in the
current window.

I'm using Outlook 2007. The code is running in that environment, VBA.

Try this:

a = objTask.EntryID
b = objTask.Parent.StoreID

Set objTask = Nothing

Set objTask = oNS.GetItemFromID(a, b)
If Not (objTask Is Nothing) Then
objTask.Delete
Set objTask = Nothing
End If

What version of Outlook? Where is this code running? It's obviously either
VB6 or VBA code.

Ken,

Your giving me too much credit. I'm not sure how to do what you've
suggested. Would it be like this?

a = objTask.Item("EntryID").Value
b = objTask.Item("StoreID").Value

Set objTask = Nothing
Set objTask = ...
not sure where to go..pretty new to this...thanks for your help
