Default Delete Shared Task

Ken,

Are you talking about FileOpenOther User's FolderTasks? For this
particular user, yes I have that open, though in my code I get at that
folder by way of GetSharedDefaultFolder.

Do you open the shared mailbox as part of the Outlook profile? I've found
in a lot of my code that things don't work as expected in delegate
mailboxes unless the mailbox is opened as part of the profile and not by
using File, Open in the UI or GetSharedDefaultFolder in code.

The purpose of the code is to do the following:

We want to use the tasks capability of Outlook and Exchange for project
managment. The only way we've found to be able to assign tasks and have
a central location is to assign a dummy user 'PMO' which shares it's
tasks and give every user ownership rights. So each task that is
assigned to users is essentially from PMO. The difficulty comes from the
inability to recall the task. If I've assigned the task to UserA and I
decided that I wanted to change the hours, not only on the main PMO, but
also on the users machine, I've either got to have each of the user's
shared folders avail to select and change (which would be too confusing
for a lot of our users) or we came up with the idea to have a button or
something that essentially (when in the PMO view) copies the selected
task and fills in the custom fields to the new copied version of the
task. As the task is copied it reassigns the task to PMO as the owner.
Now we need to get rid of the task on the UserA's personal task list,
thus the code you are helping with. The copied task would then be
re-assigned to the user with the relevant changes.

If we were able to effectivly recall the task it would make the process
easier. However, I have all of the code to do everything described above
minus the deleting of the original task off of the users personal task
list to whom the task was orignially assigned.
