assigning tasks in outlook 2003
I am trying to use the assining tasks feature of outlook. we do not have or
use the exchange server, but I am under the impression that you can still assign tasks and have them updated. Anyway, I have created a task, assigned it to a contact, they receaved and accepted it, i then receave a new email noting their acceptance of the task, however the task in my task list still reads "waiting for response", i tried clicking and draging the email into the task section but this just creates a duplicate task item. Please advise. Thank you.

assigning tasks in outlook 2003
I double click on the email "Task Accepted: subject of task" but the only
thing it does is show that I have one less new email. A normal email will open in a new window when I double click on it, where as again the task email does not; but it loses its bold and is marked as opened. Still the task in my task list reads "waiting for response". Matt "Judy Gleeson (MVP Outlook)" wrote: Have you opened and closed the "Task Accepted: subject of Task" email you received?

sometimes unreliable in Outlook. -- -Ben- Ben M. Schorr, MVP Roland Schorr & Tower http://www.rolandschorr.com http://www.officeforlawyers.com/outlook.htm "Matt Morris" wrote in message ...
