I think you can use the ItemAdd event of the task folder for that. You just
need to identify the first task, maybe by its subject, or categories. If you
detect such a task, call the CreateItem function, and create your other
tasks.

I need to be able to generate a series of Tasks or Appointments at
predetermined intervals. For Example: If a Task or Appointment is created
for
a delivery on June 1st 2010 I want to have 4 Tasks created automatically
on
dates at set intervals preceding this so that the relevant operations are
carried out before the due date. The gaps between these tasks always would
be
the same, i.e. 21 days, 49 days, 90 days and 120 days. Is this possible?

Many Thanks Michael. I will start looking in this direction.
