My workgroup consist of several team members and we are working with MS
Exchange and we have a shared task list but we would like to also continue
using our individual task list (located locally on our individual PCs) in
Outlook 2003 and be able to assign tasks among each other. We tested this out
and when assigning a task to another person from a personal task list, the
recipient receives the email with the task but nowhere is there the option to
accept or decline as I have seen mentioned in various online descriptions of
this feature. And if I drag & drop this task into my task list, it updates my
task list, but if I select "completed", it does not update the sender's task
list.

What are we doing wrong?
