Solved: Create Outlook "Task" using ilogic

mcgyvr · ‎01-22-2021

Can one create an Outlook task using ilogic?

I can get an email working but not a task so far..

This seems to just create an email not a task..

oOApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
oOTask = oOApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
oOTask.Subject = "Check Drawings" 
oOTask.Display

With CreateObject("Outlook.Application").CreateItem(3)
    '.Subject = UserForm1.TextBox1.Value & " " & UserForm1.ComboBox1.Value
    '.StartDate = UserForm1.MonthView1.Value
    '.DueDate = UserForm1.MonthView1.Value
    '.ReminderTime = UserForm1.MonthView1.Value - 1
    '.Body = UserForm1.TextBox1.Value & " " & UserForm1.ComboBox1.Value
    .Save
End With

I find it easiest to manually create and save a template for your tasks in Outlook. Then use the following code to create your task programmatically.

oOApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
oOTask = oOApp.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\My Task.oft")
oOTask.Subject = "Check Drawings" 
oOTask.Display

This will work as expected every time.
