Creating a Task with VBScript
You need the contact as a ContactItem. Then get the Links collection of the
new task item and add that ContactItem to the Links collection of the task using the Links.Add method. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Creating a Task with VBScript
Thanks I was traying to do the opposite.
But my new code doesn´t seems to work neither. Set myTask = Application.CreateItem(3) myTask.Subject = "..." myTask.DueDate #17/08/09# myTask.Save Set colLinks = myTask.Links colLinks.Add(Item) How I get the current form as a ContactItem is not enough with Item?

Creating a Task with VBScript
Item should work if the item is a contact item. Form code is VBScript, so it
only has Variant objects and you can't create a ContactItem reference. Does it work if you use it as a function: Set colLinks = myTask.Links Set oLink = colLinks.Add(Item) -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Same error. I don´t know what is the problem, because the Item is like
Item.Contact.MyForm, that should work. Thanks again. "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: Item should work if the item is a contact item.

Creating a Task with VBScript
Try an experiment and do the same code in the Outlook VBA project. Declare
the item as a ContactItem and get it from Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem. Then run the code that creates a new task and see if the adding to the Links collection works there. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

It´s works, but the task doesn´t appear in the Activities tab. Instead
appears the Form as a Contact element. Thanks. "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: Try an experiment and do the same code in the Outlook VBA project.

Creating a Task with VBScript
Here's another idea: Try saving the item before you call Links.Add

Creating a Task with VBScript
Thanks Sue, that works.
But know I had 2 problems. The task doesn´t appear in the Activities tab like I expected, instead appears my custom form as a contact element. The other problem is that the elements in Activities tab sometimes appears sometimes not. Why is that? I use Outlook 2007.
