Unable to set outlook task due date in hours

**Richard** · January 30th 10, 11:52 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

I need to set a time due for a task 8 hours from the task is created in VBA.
I have tried to change the time a task is due but the .DUEDATE only reflects
5:00 PM for the the Date due. So the time due is based upon 5:00 PM that
day--

Tasks due dates don't support the same granularity as appointments. Outlook
sets the date and then applies the time that the user has selected as the
end of the workday. Therefore, what you want to do is not possible. However,
y\You can still set the reminder to whatever time you want.
