Importing Tasks

Hi,
I'm trying to create Outlook tasks objects but can't find any info on the
microsoft knowledge base.
I did find 2 articles explaining how to create vcards and vcalendar files
and the syntax of the file. Can someone point me to an equivalent page for
Tasks?

Thanks,
R

Outlook does not support the VTODO type of iCalendar item, which represents
tasks. In what context are you trying to create tasks?

We have an inhouse program that allows people to create appointments by
entering it on a web form, it'll create vcalendar for them using the
instructions I found on the msdn site. Now, I'm asked to do the same for
tasks.

What does VTODO stand for?
Thank you.

VTODO is a type of iCalendar item, representing a task, just as a VEVENT
represents an appointment.

Your web form could need to either use client Outlook object model
automation code, in an Exchange 2000/2003, use WebDAV to create items
directly on the server.

I've never used the Outlook object model automation code before, do you have
a link to the object model reference?

Thanks,

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/outtech.htm

-or-

Check the object browser: Press ALt+F11 to open the VBA environment in
Outlook, then press F2. Switch from All Libraries to Outlook to browse all
Outlook objects and their properties, methods, and events. Select any object
or member, then press F1 to see its Help topic.
