Default How Do I Automatically Launch a Web Browser at Task Start Time

Thanks Brian, that's a decent work around. However, I know that I've seen
this done with Outlook Calender (even though I would really like it to work
with Outlook Tasks) in version 2000. When doing this with the calender in
Outlook 2000 it had something to do with setting the calender event up as a
NetShow event (I think) but I can't remember any details and I'm hoping
someone will be able to provide those in this thread.

Not with Outlook. Use Windows' task scheduler for that.

Later versions of Outlook do not include the ability to browse web pages.

Okay, I guess that answers my question -- that functionality was removed some
time after Outlook 2000. Thanks Milly.
