Tasks can only be assigned from a default Tasks folder, not from secondary
task folders or public folders. In addition, tracking of tasks (completion
report, etc.) can also only be done from a default Tasks folder. Either copy
the assigned task to the public folder and give up on any tracking, or
create a dedicated mailbox for that purpose.

I created a custom task template and published it in a public folder (I set
the folder up to store tasks). Seems to be working fine until the person
goes to "Send" (or assign) the task, then we get a message that says "You
cannot assign a task from a public folder. To assign the task, open the
task,
and then ont he Task tab, in the Actions group, click Copy To My Task
List.
Assign the task from your Tasks folder." Can't assign a task from a
public
folder? Why not? Is this really something that I can't do? Is there a
way
around it? If not, why have the functionality to create a custom task if
you
can't publish it in a place where anyone can use it? I'm confused! (P.S.
permissions were all set up and the task template is set up to be the
default
task for the task folder, if that helps.) I would save it to the server,
but
it uses the P.2 page and so I lose all functionality when I try to "save"
it,
and can't "publish" it anywhere outside of the Outlook folders (which I'm
being told I can't use it from?? At least not without doing a bunch of
mumbo-
jumbo to get it to work??) Thanks so much for reading my question, and
PLEASE
let me know if you can help!!
